I see that as: it doesn't matter, therefore let's do one consistent thing and you'll never get a person saying "this should be x=true". RoboCop forces it one way and I never have to have a syntax/formatting discussion again.

You may think it really really doesn't matter, to the point that whatever form should be accepted. But then, would you accept my "def foo (x =true ,y= false )"? I've seen enough PRs with that kind of code to know that people will submit it one day.
