Loss of utility of tools like git bisect, conventional commits, etc.

Git blame is less useful when what were individual commits associated with lines are instead rolled up into a massive commit, such that each affected line is now described by a more general commit.

It can encourage lazy developers to submit shit commit history in PRs knowing it's going to be squashed anyway, making PR harder.

Love those "WIP" or "" commits.
