Even if your team is totally on board with your style guide, everyone wants to stay pep8/257 compliant, no arguments, you use linters to warn about errors, etc. you will still have some instances of people committing code that breaks the guidelines.

Either it gets caught in code review and you have to waste time with nitpicking, or worse it makes it through to the repo and now you have to make a commit to fix what amounts to a typo.

Autoformatting with a unified, consistent tool means that you remove all those problems.
