I don't think it would be about just the size on the team. When you lead a team of junior devs for example, it's also a really useful thing to teach them.

Agreed! Especially if you use a config like Airbnb's which is strict :D

Consistency is the keyword here. Random coding styles makes difficult to support code. Every class or file would start to have different styles, and that would make debugging a nightmare. Instead, enforce a consistent coding style and make everyone's life easy.

Yes I would agree - wouldn't a linter help with that consistent style for small and large teams?

I was trying to understand the difference between the two from your perspective, as I've only worked on smaller web applications compared to enterprise level imho.
