One of my co-worker told me about journals in our field "they will edit it anyway" so I guess it depends on the field and journals. I personally would be against it and I don't understand how it is acceptable that carefully written words by scientists and agreed by co-authors are modified by a random nobody.

Could depend on the publisher as well. When I did tech work for one, changes were proposed to the author. They had to sign off, possibly offer their own modifications, and if they did there would be one more proof sent for approval.
Certain things would get edited automatically without signoff, but only if they were needed to conform to the style guide: some of that was set by the publisher, some by the journal editor.
