I think you mean "non-CS engineers". CS is a minuscule branch of engineering. Plenty of chemical, mechanical, civil (and so on) engineers had their whole education doing maths and programming with 1-indexing.

You are not, as an outsider this is one of the less appealing parts of practical CS, endless bickering about non-substantive issues which most of the time boil down to a matter of personal preference (see also tabs vs spaces, vim vs emacs, react vs vue, golang vs rust and on and on and on...)
