That depends on the major mode. E.g., in text mode and its
derivatives this is turned off. But in programming modes, many
languages accept TABs, so using them is not a bad idea, especially
since this is a long-standing Emacs default.

Maybe shell-mode should change its defaults, then. I don't use that
too much, so I don't have an opinion.
Of course, arguing about defaults is many times futile, since changing
them is very easy.
