I don’t know that anyone was arguing any of the things you are
hinting at, or what exactly the suggested arguments were.

The question it all started with is: if you want to indent
something in Markdown, how do you do that? And the answer is:
then you write raw HTML, because Markdown deliberately has no
syntax for indenting, because HTML has no element to express
indented text.
