Unified grammar and spelling increases the speed, accuracy and universality of communication

Except its perfectly understood either way, so in this case does it really do anything?

True, but I, at least, had to do a double take. I'm not a native speaker, but it's much the same in my native language.

Being understandable feels like the minimum ask of language, isn't it better to also make it easy to read to a broad audience?

Not saying you have to be a dick about it, just that prescriptivism has its benefits.
