Why would someone do that? I’d argue that if there is cleaning to be done, it should be done way before something is ready to be merged, while context is fresh in your head.

Also, cleaning before something is ready to be merged will lead to sloppy history removal as, often, people are eager to merge for a variety of reasons, and rewriting history may not be seen as a priority.

I personally commit and push to a branch when I think there's enough changes for someone else to review my work (of course with WIP flag), in case if someone is curious and once any of the changes are ready to be merged (this can be before the review changes), I'll clean up and write nice commits.

I guess it's personal preference, I don't recall losing context, as I don't let too much of time passed. And I actually ensure nice commits are written before code review otherwise it might be harder for the reviewer to get the context of the changes.
