I had the same reaction as you, for the same reasons. That said, I'm a bit more skeptical about the proliferation of automated code formatters run e.g. as pre-commit hooks. A project-wide consistent formatting style is the right thing to have in 90% of the cases, but neither the style guides nor the tools enforcing them are perfect. There are situations where a particular piece of code will suffer a readability penalty if formatted in a standard way. For those situations, the formatter must have a way to locally disable it.
