I think you're kidding, but honestly, this is a fine argument for buying this font. All of the same arguments for expensive keyboards apply: your editor font is something you stare at, often cumulatively for 5+ hours every day. It will never need to be replaced, and you'll use it for years to ultimately make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Is it absolutely necessary? No. But neither is a fast computer, a comfortable chair, or a nice briefcase. But professionals will throw an extra couple hundred bucks at any of those without a second thought (or scrutiny from their peers). Why should we skimp on these tools in particular?
