From a practical standpoint, I disagree with the idea that coding style is just "bikeshedding". Coding style has a DRAMATIC impact on how readable code is and therefore how easy it is to understand. In my experience, fighting to keep code understandable is one of the most difficult and important parts of software engineering. In particular, by not allowing the user to change indentation style Prettier makes JavaScript much more difficult to read.
From a social standpoint, I think that by labeling things "bikeshedding", Prettier represents a toxic approach to team dynamics. Just because something isn't important to you doesn't mean that it's not essential to someone else.
IMHO, Prettier was a massive setback for the JavaScript community.
