Even though I'd push for tabs-for-indentation-spaces-for-alignment, I agree with your sentiment. The "both"-camp is divided in two groups: the "don't care"-group and the "strict rules"-group (the former probably being much larger). There was a Stack Overflow developer survey in 2017 which concluded that space users make more than tab/both users. Would be interesting to see the results when accounting for above difference in the both group.
