I feel this way but about `prettier.js` (as opposed to eslint.js) instead.

That's expected - Prettier intentionally and openly positions themselves at the most extreme extreme end of convention-over-configuration. Their tagline is "Opinionated code formatter". If this bothers you, you should look for a different tool.

Sometimes I can't use another tool because another dev has snuck the change into the repo. I can't be privy to every change at a large company. I also can and will continue to be bothered by the existence of prettier because of this. Sometimes I like being bothered. It let's me know what kind of crap to avoid in the wild. If this explain bothers you, you should consider other contexts where problems may apply.
