The whole web stands on each and every website being uniquely designed, however hard it is to learn how to navigate. If you want efficiency, work with databases, not people.
Not me - if I don't want like a website's design, I am going to close the tab.
Similarly, as a hiring manager (mainly software engineers), I come across some very "unique" resumes which I do look through out of curiosity but the maverick-factor is quite high with these candidates, and they usually are a disruption with their constant "unique" approaches to working with the team.
They would want to rewrite large modules your way and take forever to do it, then never actually contribute any productive code in any area...we made some hiring mistakes like that, and rather than wasting just that one engineer, these mishires ended up wasting other people's time, which is much worse.
Sometimes, it helps to be conformant (another brick in the wall, so to speak) to the standard protocol/format to have maximum compatibility.
