MODERATORS
It seems for some reason you assume people have better discipline for commit messages made in the course of a branch that will be merged, but that's absolutely not true as a general rule. Additionally, even if the squashed commit message is bad, it will at least correspond to a PR in the forge.
Yeah, some commit messages are very not good either
