Note: if we were to use a lower threshold for number-letter confusability (e.g. to support handwritten passwords), we'd be restricted to a very small subset of digits, as we'd rule out (besides 0 and 1 mentioned above):

  • 2/Z
  • 5/S
  • 6/G
  • 8/B
  • 9/g

leaving us with only 3, 4 and 7, which would defeat the purpose of including this class of symbols anyway.
