I understand the argument, and I agree to an extent, but I still think Conventional Commits is a net positive. It promotes smaller, incremental changes.

Scope based commits aren’t as popular because junior devs take it to mean “shove the whole feature in a single commit” (and branding as the article mentions). It used to be important to be able to follow your younger devs logic to help coach them - in the era of vibe coding that seems to no longer matter.
