I don't get why every language seems to have its own coding style when you'd think they'd be completely interchangeable depending on user/org/project maintainer preference
Having a standardized codding styles allows people to immediately recognise things, and not have a wacky case mix.
You don't need to remember the coding style of one specific project. You just need to remember the style of the language
Of course it would be better if it was standardized for every language, but that's probably never going to happen
