I find value in conventional commits. I do not like so called Conventional Commits. A name which obscures the difference is 1 reason.

Feature and fix are change set types. Not commit types. There is no difference if you squash. There is if you do not.

Many projects which do not use Conventional Commits include scope in commit messages.

Structured change type and scope help to write change logs. An issue tracker is a more useful place for this information in my view.
