Anyway: the consequence of your well done argumentation is that
someone editing Python code has to use a specialised editor to prevent
screwing up tab indented code - and that's bad.

You just need to use an editor that inserts tab characters when the tab
key is pressed, just like you use an editor that inserts s characters
when the s key is pressed. If people didn't insist on using spaces where
tabs are called for, there would be no problem, and you wouldn't need a
specialized editor to prevent screwing up space-indented code.
