I guess I'll be the first to disagree with your disagreement :)
I think the value of standardization is much higher than the value of "break[ing] established styles to improve readability in corner cases". I just find the marginal value of these little stylistic improvements to be extremely low, and the value of code looking quite similar everywhere to be quite high.
