Despite adding a valid perspective, this is mostly clickbait.
A file is just a storage format. The real issue is that IDE's don't render files according to user preferences, be them TABs or spaces, or PascalCase vs snake-case. When saving they convert back. No need to "get everybody on the same page" and in the process create winners and losers.
Unlike laws (or like laws), technology has the capacity to create win-win situations. This is a good example. So the real question is why we insist on debates, instead of actually doing our jobs. Congress can only solve so much.
