This is definitely a spicy take.

Given that " appears over 3000 times in the source of this page alone, I think the topic of saving a few bytes over the wire is another topic. (Unless the compression process does away with this need—not sure about how that part works)

Well, the DEV page may be using " over 3000 times, but, unlike my example, it is still invalid HTML - both according to the standards, and to validators: see for yourself. So I'm not sure if that is a good page to take example from.
