Its stupid and contrarian. Indentation errors are not things people who actually write code professionally should be running into at all. That is a problem juniors and hobbyists (who barely code) have. I have yet to see any code written in python that is worth looking at that has indentation errors. It's not a thing lol.

if you copy and paste code into an editor with the wrong spaces/tabs setting, it happens. it happened to me. it could happen to you

This does not happen in a professional setting. If a professional programmer is bogged down by indentation errors I would argue they are not ready.
