It takes longer to read a line of text that has more whitespace than it does to read a line of text with less whitespace and proper syntax highlighting.
In addition to this, modern typography has different rules for different mediums. Bringhurst's typographic styles weren't meant to be applied to C# code nor should they be. We don't read code the same way we read books or magazines, thus it doesn't need the same treatment.
If we are going to start applying modern typographic elements to code that we write, then we need to start thinking about incorporating various font faces, weights, worry about the kerning and leading, add some headers and a host of other things.
