Other programmers care. A one/two man workshop doesn't need order or processes to get things done. A ten man workshop cannot function without it. The same is true with coding - it becomes a tool for programmers to communicate intent, it's becomes important to be ordered, clean and understandable by every other dev.
The end users of my open source software are all developers and they never complained about the code style. Not once. My largest application lived for 10 years and was used by hundreds of thousands of people.

Code style is the wrong tool for that job. Better are code reviews and written documentation.
