I wonder if that is language dependent. For C segfaults or Go panics, usually the obvious fix is the fix and at least the stack trace is extremely valuable that people wouls want, if not the author than any one wanting to fork and fix. Python usually people have more subjective opinions, at least in my experience.
Maybe a project in Java and web/JavaScript just tends to attract form over function people.
"We should migrate the whole project to use this framework."
"The whitespace does not conform to this style guide."
"I don't care if it breaks on old Androids, we should use all the new JS/HTML/CSS features, and I have already begun converting the code."
