I don't think it is because spaces vs tabs impacts semantics.

Since this is a long-standing, real-world problem that linters solved, how could it not be relevant to a discussion about the usefulness of linters?

And the choice of whether to use tabs or spaces does not affect semantics. It is purely a matter of style. Indentation using tabs and indentation using spaces work in exactly the same way.
