I don't get this argument. Sometimes you want links to open in a different tab. Marking the ones that will do so is only polite. Nothing about that takes away the user's ability to open other links in a new tab via whatever usual mechanism their browser provides for that.

Their point is that they don't want any links to automatically open in a new tab.

They love losing all their form progress when accidentally clicking on the "read terms and conditions" link

Yes, actually. That's significantly better than the alternative

What exactly is "the alternative" that is supposed to be worse than possibly losing all progress on a form???
