In fact Merriam Webster [1] very explicitly advocates for "gauge": > The verb gauge, which refers to measuring or estimating, also has a variant gage. This variant appears to show up primarily in informal sources, though not often. Gauge is by far the preferred spelling in general usage for both the noun and the verb; we encourage you use it. 1. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gage |

This isn't a discussion about whether a source encourages its use or not. It's about whether it's a typo or a correct spelling.
Your quote above, in which 'gage' is implicitly referred to as a spelling further supports that it's not a misspelling.
I don't know how to state this in a more friendly way. These are merely facts documented here for verification purposes. If anyone's immediate reaction to verifiable facts in the face of an imposter spreading misinformation differs from gratitude, I would fear for their ability to take in other easily verifiable facts.
