Adding space between words can easily lead to readability issues. One might think some space between words is unique. It is! Unique and not functional. You would need to track eye movements in a labor to learn about this unnecessary kind of distraction and frustration in the long run.
Disabling to select text might be useful for buttons. But why would you disallow your users to copy text as a certain percentage of users might want to share, save,... relevant content. If your user absolutely wants to copy your published content, he will find a way. From a ux perspective this does nothing but lead to frustration, because you influence your users expectations, as you dont offer what he expects.
To the spacing words, sorry I don't get it. Most fonts used online actually are "not good" because they don't have enough space, and this is a way. Also, I've been struggling because some times I can't space words in flashing titles and the words seem condensed when they shouldn't - now I can change that. And it's not at all an issue to readability, actually it can improve it.
To the disabling text, still don't get it. What kind of argument is "if they want to copy your content, they'll find a way"? Who's frustrated because he/she can't copy a text from a button, or text from a post? How exactly you loose sharing content because you can't copy it?
I find your arguments not so heavy in this. I think this is again the 'elitist-ux-phenomenon' above us, where EVERYTHING that means touching SOMETHING in the interfaces -> leads to ux issues.
This is not a battle. You do not have to apologize if you dont get it. I am also not interested in your personal opinion about "most" fonts used online. It is not about offending you, but about my experience as ux designer. Anyways, thanks for sharing some info, which can lead to problems, if you do not have a usability background 🤷
Actually, if you've read the article I'm pretty sure you've also read the UX recommendations I add after every trick, to make sure those without a UX background won't mess up... 🤔

Well, not really.
