Arguably yes. And arguably spaces are better for indentation as a matter of convenience and accessiblity and you can’t make any strong argument that it’s what tab is “for” based on original purpose.

I didn't claim as such - I'm just contesting your claim that using tab for indentation is an "abuse" because it's "for aligning columns in a table".

That’s fine. You’re supporting my point in that case.
