I think the appeal is that it avoids the discussions entirely (i.e. if it doesn't matter what option you pick, why even have the option? Particularly if these options will mean you divert away from the standard python style guide, which has been trying to standardize these choices for years so that codebases have similar rules.)
i.e. if your org has inconsistent python formatting between different independently-operating teams, it's easier to enforce PEP 8 than start a load of pointless arguments about what good looks like.
