Speaking of Lisp files (I've no opinion about C etc.),
it was a waste of time (it was churn) to have purged
the files of `...' in the first place.
"Let's work on that" by reverting the misguided
(IMO) switch from `...' to '...'.

No need to repeat the argument - I agree. Let's
just reverse the reversal - get back to using
`...'.

People followed the `...' convention pretty well
for decades, no? It's simple to type (vs curly),
simple to recognize/parse, simple to fontify,
simple to search for. It's wonderful.
What's wrong with it? Someone thinks it's ugly,
and people new to Emacs aren't used to it.
