There's no benefit to any of this. Just write like human. It will be clear if it's a fix, or a refactor, or ?. Typically it isn't just one of those things.

Making an opinionated absolute statement about something that's widely used and argued about isn't even logical. If nobody got any benefit, it wouldn't be a thing.

The CC standard may not be for everyone, but having some convention is often helpful. git log --pretty=oneline of structured format gives you broad filtering that's useful. Just writing like a human doesn't give you that ability and you're forced to read every line.
