Me too, actually I hate conventional commits with a pattern, because I have never seen a "conventional commit message" that actually does a good job. I've recently even written a short article on that subject (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29924976) because it is so annoying to me that people think writing a "conventional commit message" alone results in better quality (hint: it does not).
