If that's the case, why have standards when it comes to writing code, e.g. when to use camel case? Why have styles at all for writing in a language like English that tell you how titles should be formatted? Consistent format and structure reduces cognitive load IMO, because it breeds familiarity. Also, Git itself uses the imperative mood whenever it creates a commit on your behalf. Consistency is good.
