Because anyone who isn't used to seeing it will think it's a typo and then have to rethink what the function is doing.

But what if it is more common. At some point you would expect a turning point if there are no other downsides ofcourse.

Generally I think people are trying to move away from functions that have a lot of conditionals, so it's probably not going to become more common.

good point, not a fan of them myself 😉
