I've generally been in the squash camp but it's more out of a sense of wanting a "clean" and bisectable repo history. In a word where git (and git forges) could show me atomic merge commits but also let me seamlessly fan those out to show the internal history and iteration and maybe stuff like llm sessions, I'd be into that.

And yes, it's my understanding that mercurial and fossil do actually do more of this than git does, but I haven't actually worked on any projects using those so I can't comment.
