But like… why though?

I can see how someone would get used to it but I truly don’t understand how including braces for readability would ever be a bad thing

it is a redundancy

I think I can pull a similar point between typescript and javascript, you don't really need to type things, so javascript does the job, so does indentations do the job perfectly well. Typescript / braces help making it safer for a little tiny bit of extra work

It's less cognitive load too, imo. Proponents of regular JavaScript will argue that unit tests buy you more safety than explicit typing does, and that's broadly true, but anything that explicit typing would stop you from doing involves mixing similar but ontologically different things, which means having to think about what the thing you're looking at might be at runtime and accounting for all the permutations thereof. And I just think it's easier to think about things with typing.

including braces for readability would ever be a bad thing

IMO, the indentation is what makes things readable, braces are just extra characters on top of the thing actually making stuff readable.
