Since ordinary spaces have variable widths in justified text and may even vary in width from one font to another, I doubt your "For people that care about typography in their writing" claim has much relevance. Even the non-breaking space has been given a variable-width behaviour in Word 2013 & later. Double-spaces between sentences are a legacy of the days of typewriters and fixed-width fonts.
