Code certainly can have markup like underlining.

Line spacing is a very personal preference, and it varies widely by other configuration, such as font. Please, feel free to make your own prose-specific Org theme or minor mode, or use or improve one of the several that already exist. Org defaults need not be changed to meet your preferences.
