There's another price: Strict stylistic guidelines encourage bikeshedding.

Emm.  Why so?

Different people have different ideas about what "good style" is.
Blanks before opening parentheses or not, how many indents to use, how many blanks per indent, docstring formatting, etc. etc. etc.

the price is high: more merge conflicts, more noise in the git history,

Eh?
Only if somebody insists on cleaning up pep8 warnings - not what
people do very often anyway.

Well, may be I'm wrong - this is based on my personal expirience
with git-blame.  Actual example:
$ git blame sympy/core/function.py|cut -f 1 -d" "|sort|uniq
229
$ git blame sympy/core/function.py|cut -f 1 -d" "|wc -l
2291
$ for c in `git blame sympy/core/function.py|cut -f 1 -d" "|sort|uniq`; do git show $c| 
egrep -iq '(pep8|pep 8)' && echo pep; done|wc -l
13
$ for c in `git blame sympy/core/function.py|cut -f 1 -d" "`; do git show $c| egrep -iq 
'(pep8|pep 8)' && echo pep; done|wc -l
145

What is it that these commands do?
I'm not familiar with all of them.
