Curious on the preference there, especially when characters in base64url encoding can look similar/ambiguous in some fonts.

The preference is purely about the amount of characters. I hope no one will ever actually read or write these URLs, but you never know...

Ah in that case, base58 can be useful because it doesn't use characters that may be ambiguous in some fonts (doesn't use: 0/O/I/l , but does use: 1/i)
