Style opinions are borderline irrelevant without appropriate linters.

Go and use Google BigQuery auto-formatter in a complex query with CASE and EXTRACT YEAR FROM date, and you will have a totally different opinion.

How that auto-formatter indents is borderly almost a hate crime. A thousand times better to indent manually.

I've even seen the BigQuery formatter change the behaviour of a query, by mixing a keyword from a comment into the real code.
