Agreed, and what's interesting is that despite all of those pointless style debates, there hasn't been much pushback on using reformatters (that I've seen). This tells me that the debates weren't really about "my style is objectively best" but more about "I'd like to use a consistent/predictable style (with preference to mine)."

Quite right, I have not met a lot of people that were actually strongly opinionated about their coding style. They simply did not want to use a tribal one that was not well defined that just added friction to the development process.
