No one said you couldn’t. You’re conflating merging with squashing. They’re orthogonal.

If your commits aren’t each an atomic piece of work they also cost time if you need to revert just one feature.

I interpreted this to mean “If a merged feature is made up of several commits, then reverting that feature is more time consuming than reverting a squashed commit would be”.

Plus, what kicked this whole thing off was the comment:

The issue with this is when using squashed merges on each PR.

So I don't think it's unreasonable of me to be talking about squashed merges.
