I don’t know how you can expect English speakers to care about this sort of thing, when the vast majority of them don’t even pay attention to how their own language is displayed in software they develop.
Every organisation I’ve worked at meets attempts to correct apostrophes and curly quotes in their English copy with such an intense mixture of indifference, confusion, and annoyance, that anybody who tries is quickly convinced that they are the insane ones to pay attention to such inconsequential nonsense. Use of tabs vs spaces is easier to turn into a legitimate problem with business impact by comparison.
