If the "=" were nestable inside parentheses, so that one could write declarations like this: (double d = foo (xyzzy, bar (plugh))); then indeed it would be a nitpick. But "=" is not nestable or parenthesizable when it's part of the punctuation for an initializer. Indenting styles designed for the nestable and parenthesizable infix operator "=" are not necessarily the best when "=" is used for other purposes.
