I think those are very different cases. Knowing SQL is a valuable skill which I'm pretty sure almost all developers end up using at some point in their careers, whereas there's no value in being able to format code. Maybe that will change once we start seeing people who learnt to code with automatic formatters and didn't develop any sense for what good syntax looks like, but I don't think we're there yet.
