Is 6pt font easier to read than 12pt font? Are all style choices equivalent from first principles?
No, not really. Many of the decisions prettier makes are quite objectively bad for readability from first principles (e.g. breaking up lines where the RHS isn't relevant to most readers, left shifting RHS of assignments when the implementation details are less important than the abstraction over them).
I am totally in favor of a universal formatter, but at least justify the design decisions being made. Prettier formatting choices are often very lackluster and hard to defend objectively.
It will be replaced by something better eventually
