I have tried that. You get encouraged it might work. Until you press return on the end of the line. Then emacs deletes all the tabs.
Aaand you can disable 'electric-indent-mode' to get rid of this behavior.
Emacs should have a minor-mode or settings that only keep the highlighting for the specific major-mode, and allows the user to format as one pleases.
The general expectation is that our users's projects adhere to some common rules WRT indentation, with only a few parameters varying between them (which can be customized). When that holds, Emacs's way is way more efficient in practice.
And when one works on a rare exception, they can tweak their config accordingly. A minor mode could be helpful, I suppose, but the customizations I suggested are fairly easy to do already.
