Vim's modelines (and Emacs' equivalent) can solve this part at least, no?

Yes, but then how many different editors are people using? What about VSCode? SublimeText? Etc. you’re just trading one problem for another.
These days .editorconfig compliance is everywhere, thankfully, so there's a cross-platform solution. At least for that bit. (Note that while usually "cross-platform" means OS's, this time it means editors).
