Summary
As Biome grows in popularity, and particularly as people look at potentially migrating from Prettier now that we've won the challenge and promote that compatibility, we're going to get a lot of the same requests for adding options to the formatter.
Even before the challenge, Biome intended to be a strongly-opinionated formatter, much like Prettier, and had the chance to start fresh with a blank set of options and no historical baggage. After the challenge, we've had to implement all of the options that Prettier already has, but we don't want to keep adding more. This page on the website acts as something we can point to when requests come up, explaining that the ideal world for Biome is no options, and the existing ones only exist for compatibility.
It also leaves the door open for radical advancements in the future and even changes to the core style of Biome itself, should they ever come up, but makes it clear that requests for new options most likely will not be considered.
Test Plan
Just opened the page on the site locally and it worked as expected.
