I'd argue that a company should be able to take a little criticism - style based ones like mine will likely be ignored, as you mentioned before it's down to the culture of the company - for every function like the one outlined in the OP I'm sure there's countless examples of good style in the code base, engines are huge.

I really hope that companies don't view criticism as a negative thing, it's cause for discussion and change which are most certainly positive - I hope some bugs are found and they start to feel the benefit of the community a little.
