my quibble is not really about the equality symbol, more about assignments as a fundamental building concept of code.
(Re)assignments exist in social interaction so I guess it's intuitive to people that way, but if you look at code from a perspective of modeling reality that's just not a thing that exists in nature. Maybe it's just me.
