In general, yes. Technical documents, research reports, news articles, and other formal publications should follow this.
Anything else which allows a bit more freedom in expression? I’d say it’s a matter of taste.
I had freewritten, generally free expression type documents in mind when I wrote my statement, e.g. blog articles or opinion pieces. The problem is 'a matter of taste' can be used to excuse/justify anything.
That's more of a feature than it is a problem.
Agree to disagree. It allows badly written stuff to be defended, I would argue more often than alternative more acceptable case scenarios.
