Except monospace fonts shouldn't be used for prose, so the author is actively making the reading experience worse for... aesthetics and vanity reasons?

It's hard to respect the advice of a designer whose deviations from their own rules make the design worse.

Almost any web-safe font[1] would have been a better choice.

Who says they shouldn't be used for prose? Screenplays is one example off the top of my head that is ubiquitously monospace.
More evidence to my point, actually, since screenplays aren't prose.
