How is that "hassle"? Somebody needs to fix it, why should it be the maintainer? In my experience, not even bothering with style is a good indicator of careles

In my experience, not even bothering with style is a good indicator of careless "shotgun coding" and such PRs typically have far worse issues. It's also typical that such PRs won't have real issues fixed either.

An expert in a certain area can certainly fix smaller issues with a few lines of code but only have a limited amount of time on their hands. Having to read a lengthy style guide and making sure they adhere to every single rule, especially when those rules are the opposite of their regular habits, is a non-zero hurdle to contributing. Offloading that work to a machine as far as possible lowers the burden to only those rules that cannot be applied automatically.
