Sounds like you're joking but I'll bite. Yes, it's different because doing what you suggest introduces barriers for people which make landing changes harder. By forcing people to conform to any style manually, especially by blocking them from landing important features and bug fixes due to styling preferences, you are building up opposition. It's just a bad experience for everybody involved.

In contrast, when you're promising that this exact problem won't happen anymore because an automatic tool will handle stylistic preference for your team, people are more willing to accept stylistic choices they (mildly) disagree with. Because on average the style is still better and on average everybody can move faster.
