According to Wikipedia, the difference between Nastaʿlīq and Naskh is much more than just a different font.

And also, according to this discussion, I have also learned that Nastaʿlīq is deeply connected to feelings of origin and pride in (at least some) Urdu speakers, and these are delicate matters.

So why would you even make such an obnoxious, and totally incorrect, reduction of this matter to differences in mere font choices?
