Because the Lilypond doesn't care what users do. It's more that we want to have a uniform style so our manual and examples look uniform. Better that we don't set Official Guidelines, rather, we could present our style as an option. FWIW, I always use the emacs standard mode settings, which does 4 space indents. However, the manual does not use standard indents. 2 space indents makes more sense for the space constrained manual. Maybe we ought to set our standard to two spaces, and move all manual examples to 2 spaces.
