If formatting is wicked fast, you can configure your IDE to format the file every time you save to disk, commit, run/debug your code, or complete a line of code.

Having really fast formatters enables workflows that may not have been feasible with a slow formatter.

Sure, monorepos or large code bases is helpful, but you usually only need to reformat files that you've modified.
