Emacs requires you to customize, once, the indentation so that it
could thereafter help you by indenting everything automatically to
suit the indentation style. That's a win by any measure.

It should be possible to answer that question by just examining the
file you posted.
Alternatively, you could just reindent the entire file according to
the defaults, like this:
C-x h
C-M-\
and then keep making changes without any customizations.
