Also, sometimes the formatting simply makes reading something messy merely tractable, not aesthetically pleasing.
Once, a product launch depended on me urgently kludging a device driver in Python (long story). And this involved a large hand-maintained mapping table. I wrote it quickly but carefully, and found some formatting that made the table readable enough, without implementing a minilanguage in Python.
But the Black formatter had been rigged to run automatically on commit, so... poof! :)
