I question the competence of anyone who does not question (and rag on) the prevalence of templating YAML.

Damn straight. It’s only bad because everything else is strictly worse.

Helm isn’t YAML. It’s a go template file that should compile to YAML, masquerading as YAML with that extension.

So yaml formatters break it, humans struggle to generate code with proper indents, and it’s an insane mess. It’s horrendous.
