Note that spaces is just one of several problematic characters that are valid in filenames. Others includes tabs, newlines, characters that are part of globbing patterns (such as * and ? etc.), control characters, emojis and other non-latin characters (visible and invisible). It's easier to write code that correctly handles all valid filenames, than to rename files that broken code can't handle.
