Conventional Commits - Am I missing something?
I think they're the worst thing in existence. At most places, you do a squash and merge, so your 50 commits that are like "fix typo" don't pollute git history. Only merge commits actually matter.

Don't tag your commits with "type of change". It's useless subjective noise, and you shouldn't be splitting your commits by type. Do what the Git project does: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L266

Conventional Commits: Standardizing Git Messages for Optimized Collaboration
December 24, 2024 - Git commit messages constitute the historical documentation of a project. However, the absence of standardized conventions often generates unreadable histories: laconic messages like “fix”, vague descriptions like “update”, or temporary annotations like “WIP” that persist in the definitive history.

August 20, 2021 - We’ve all seen git commit messages like “a fix” or “fixes bug” but they vaguely tell you what is in it. This lacks detail about why the change was made though.
