History is the cleaned-up story we tell after the fact.
The fact that I had a bunch of stupid typos and broken tests that I didn't realize were broken before I committed doesn't need to be in the final history. What I really want for the preserved history is the conceptual chunks of changes I made along the way.
Is this really good for your team and the project?
If you have a safe work atmosphere, and yor teammates reviewing the work can discover pitfalls in your project's workflow, you as a team can have discussions about it can improve your test stuff. And you can maybe go back through the history and see how many times this kind of normal human mistake with other branches and developers.
You can still diff through the PR as a unit before merging, without getting bogged down in low level commits.
