Some have a smaller tighter codebase... where it's realistic to pursue consistent application of an internal style guide (which current AI seems well suited to help with (or take ownership of)).
A linter is well suited for this. If you have style rules too complex for a linter to handle I think the problem is the rules, not the enforcement mechanism.
My comment here got two downvotes. I was trying to contribute positively to the conversation. I've barely ever downvoted anyone. I upvoted the parent comment even though I disagreed with it (because I appreciated the perspective). The drive-by downvoters in HN bum me out.
