The bad thing about these sort of tools is when you work in a shop where multiple platforms are used for development and one of the platforms doesn't support the tool, or the tool fights with other tooling on that platform. You should for example never use pre-commit to enforce line ending style because git has brain dead defaults (which is to say, unless you have a .gitsettings file in your repo to prevent it, it will change line endings itself, fighting pre-commit). This just creates confusion and wasted time. In aid of what? So some anal so-and-so can get their way about code formatting as though it makes everyone else more productive to format code THEIR way. When in fact it makes others LESS productive as they fight "computer says no" format-nazi jobs in CI that don't even report what is "wrong" with the formatting and rely on tooling that they don't have installed to run locally.

Not to mention the overhead of running these worthless inefficient tools on every commit (even locally).

Tools like this just raise the debate from different opinions about formatting to different opinions about workflows. Workflows impact productivity a lot more than formatting.
