One case I can think of is parsing output without the intermittent hidden unicode codes to change the color. Changing terminal settings won’t change that.

  Programs should disable terminal color codes when the output is not a terminal. Arguably, this is already an established best practice.

    If checking isatty() wasn't an established practice, pipes would be pretty useless.
