It’s really not. Style guides exist for this reason. There are rules of grammar, style, and punctuation.

https://www.thesaurus.com/e/writing/is-there-1-space-or-2-after-a-period/ “According to every major style guide you’ll find, the rule is a single space after a period or any other punctuation mark you use to end a sentence. Even the APA, the staunchest defender of the double space over the decades, changed their stance on the issue in 2019.”

You can just ignore their advice : just like you can use the wrong punctuation and Capitalization whEnever you want’”

But that doesn’t mean it’s subjective. That’s like saying having 2 periods at the end of each sentence is subjective. It really isn’t.
