Thank you for your suggestion.
However, the difference in these settings is as trivial as the color of a bike
shed to other editor implementations that comply with the EditorConfig specification.
I don't intend to send patches to numerous free software authors to fix something
that isn't broken. Frankly, it would feel like spam to people who don't use Emacs.

Why not? Emacs is a major new player on this playground, so making
some minor changes for the benefit of using EditorConfig settings in
Emacs sounds justified to me.
Emacs uses tab-width in a special way, which is why we feel blindly
abiding by this setting in Emacs would be incorrect. If a way exists
to have both Emacs and the other editors happy, why not take it to
adapt?
