Monorepos don't really change anything. Squashed commits are still not atomic, unless the MR is small enough to fit into a single logical commit. Changes made to say, a database query are distinct from changes made to route handling, yet both might be needed for the overall feature. They don't belong in the same commit in history.

hard disagree on what belongs in the same commit history… a single merge should be an entire feature, and your commit history should read like a change log
