I’m imaging you dismissing the idea of a pie chart because obviously 8 is twice as large as 4 and knowing 8 is 2/3 of 12 is just a fact people know because they are exposed to it so often.
All of the examples of bad pie charts are completely different than a pie chart viewed straight on with only two values. You know, the thing pie charts are perfect for.

You should know that pie charts are widely seen as being very ineffective ways of communicating data.

With only 2 values? Why would you want that? And what makes you believe they’re as good as a bar chart for that?
why would you use a bar chart to display a proportion?
