This is a very simplistic approach that doesn't fit all situations
IMHO.

So tell me why Python itself allows a consistent but arbitrary number
of spaces as indentation?

In PEP 8, value 4 for indentation is like the parallel postulate: it
is completely isolated from all other recommendations...
Given that PEP 8 recommends a line length of 79 characters, it would
be easier to obey this limitation if indentation is small.
Whatever :-)
