Yes, contrary to spaces/tabs ligatures only affect how it is displayed on screen, letting everyone choose how they want it without any drawback or inconsistency. Which is why I find the other argument in the link a bit unconvincing too - most code isn't shared in static screenshots, though I'll agree when it comes to books.
