At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.

It's a clear tell.

Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.

I realize that I have a "two spaces" habit. I have no problem with it. I find the fact that you are so bothered by an extra space after the period to be bizarre.

Hey. Stop breaking the pattern

Only two? Why not six? It's more.

I imagine because it's larger than the space between words (one space), so as to indicate a break in thought, but not long enough to cause the reading to be stilted.

But if you're ee cummings, go right ahead...

For that matter, why not zero? I put 2 spaces because it feels right.
