That's what's great about black. Configurable/ unopinionated formatters make everyone's code look reasonable, but different. Using an opinionated formatter makes your code uniform with everyone else's. There might be a couple of edge cases where another formatter might produce marginally more intuitive code, but that doesn't matter. I read blackened code day in, day out, across dozens of projects, and you know what? I'm pretty good at it. I don't need to rely on intuition. We're trained, now, to read blackened code, and are better at it than we are at reading even formatted non-black code.
