I love clean code. There, I said it. I pride myself on passing strict linting standards and keeping my code easy to read. It's not just a personal proclivity, but a choice I hope benefits other developers.

My general experience with teams has been that code style is something people care about and have strong personal preferences. Typically, at some point people get tired of dealing with inconsistency and a standardization meeting is called. This is, of course, an important discussion to have.
