I also prefer proportional fonts for prose in Org buffers, and I
configured my face settings accordingly a long time ago.
However, it is not necessarily so that proportional fonts are required
for prose. Great works have been written on typewriters for many
years. As well, Emacs/Org are not necessarily aimed at prose writing
more than other uses, and changing the default would probably be
off-putting to many existing users, so the default probably should not
be changed.
Having said that, if Org could have a simple org-mixed-pitch-mode, or
something like that, that could be very helpful, since it could make
such configuration much easier. Maybe one could be written to use
face-remapping, which shouldn't take much code.
