> we need to trust people to do engineering and decide for themselves how to use that grammar.
i agree with this very much, but one snag point in a lot of projects is when people do pull-request reviews and there are disagreements about "what is readable" or "easy to understand" then a lot of time gets wasted going back and forth so having a style-czar approved format can make things smoother because there isn't much to argue about any more
