Honestly I think it's just "spaces before open parens" and at least it's consistent. K&R, which I use, wants spaces before the parens in conditionals and loops but not in method sigs or method calls and the linter at work gets me almost every time I type the word "if".
Fair enough if the GNU dudes valued consistent spacing more than taking function calls as one "logical block". Not my cup of tea but that's what configurable auto formatting is for.
