Well, if you have queries going over hundreds of lines with >10 different for/let clauses, it is actually very helpful to get at least a guess at which level of loop nesting you are. Otherwise you just have a long sequence of statements on the same indentation level, so the indentation doesn't give you any information.
As a FLWOR expression can have any number of for and let clauses but only one of each of the other clauses, all the expressions that are evaluated based on the variable bindings of the for and let clauses are evaluated at the same level. That level is given by the number of for clauses in the FLWOR. (Whenever there is a nested FLWOR in a where or return clause there should obviously be some form of indentation.) So the trade-off is between counting for clauses and wasting columns. I think that saving columns is worth counting for clauses.
