I like your point. Just to play with it a bit. Unenforced coding standards can't be relied on. So you want something like lint (of old), tidy-clang, or git check-in hooks to help enforce. At that point it becomes tempting to say "if it is part of the language, it should be in the compiler." But back to your point- it is easier for small groups to enforce their own standards than to change the compiler for everyone.
