For me, if a journal/conférence has a weird format but gives a functional latex template with a bibliography style that matches their needs I’m fine with it. Although I do wish that it was more standardized. In my experience a lot of the time wasted for submission is filling forms which contains the same information already in the paper: abstract, authors, affiliation, funding and etc... I wish this was adressed somehow.
