High-pressure sodium lamps look beautiful - change my mind

They just look more beautiful as they age. I would rather have everything lit with this beautiful orange color instead of all of those little LEDs.

I like the golden orange colour of my Osram NAV-TS 70W Super 4Y in my track light. However, I doubt if it would change its colour when it would age, as Osram high xenon pressure HPS lamps, tends to have a stable colour through life, compared to regular HPS lamps.

I don't really like SON light when it goes reddish or pinkish tbh!

I definitely prefer it to the harsh LED glare on the roads. It's also decent for security lighting, but I've never understood people lighting factories with it due to the poor colour rendering

SON does have a really nice colour in general, perfect for street lighting and general flood/security uses. Practically it is also fairly simple control gear wise and is very reliable.
I agree about using it indoors though, aside from white SON used in special installations, in general factory and warehouse lighting metal halide or fluorescent are best, or at least should be used to supplement SON in those situations.

Definitely, my Arc80 on the back of the house, running a Philips 70 watt SON-I

Looks good on my rear CCTV.
