I mean if someone has a particular style that others disagree on, the repo ends up with inconsistently styled code. There are benefits to consistently styled code especially when there are a lot of hands in the repo. I think teams should strive to have a mostly homogeneous code style for consistency sake. It makes reading code easier and ultimately maintaining code easier. Having a linter enforce style rules is really helpful so code reviews don't need to be consumed with tedious style discussions. I like rubocop because it can be configured to be as flexible or strict as the team wants. Let the team establish what the level of consistency they want is.
