Sure, I could get used to it. But it being more readable is not even true for me, because the thing I got used to instead, is that != is the unequals-operator. I see that much more often than ≠.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it's likely untrue for outliers.

For monospace fonts? I've heard of such research for proportional fonts, where ligatures definitely make sense to me. But yeah, I wouldn't assume such research to automatically translate to monospace.
