I can search for control panel options just fine in Windows 10. Not on my machine right now, but searching for "mouse" brings up both the new settings page and the control panel one just below.
Which is why PEP-8 the Python code style guide enforces 4 spaces. This maintains consistency throughout the community. Also PyCharm one of the more popular IDEs for Python uses 4 spaces by default.
That's not what PEP-8 is for, it was meant to define the style of the standard libraries. A lot of people in the community voluntarily adopted it for their projects, but that wasn't its purpose.
