I really must be missing something with all of these tools writing code for you. Shipping my entire codebase off to some unknown party does not seem like a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to write my own indentation function or whatever.

You are really missing it. It's more about preventing RSI by getting the boilerplate writing out of the way than having the tool do the actual work for you.
If you are writing boilerplate all the time, it’s time to introduce some abstractions and put them in a library.
