You're not the only one. It's just that people who like to impose their will (or style) on others are a lot louder about it, unsurprisingly. They use the excuse of the linter sometimes highlighting potential bugs to impose their preferred formatting style wholesale over everyone. And it's purely an exercise of power of one person over others -- the computer doesn't care about your style. And it's not enough, some people will ask you to move sections of code around and start arguing about naming once they have no inconsistent white spaces to complain about -- that's how you know it's not the linter or formatter that they want, they want to control people.
