If the netlist and PCB layout is correct then why waste time on
making the schematic look like you want it, only to be told by
someone else that they would have drawn it completely differently?

They are both wrong.

Won't work. The batteries are backwards.

It depends which battery convention you use, there doesn't seem to be a
standard which is universally accepted.

As a footnote, some transistors have enough gain int the reverse
direction to make the circuit function, after a fashion, from either
polarity.  When I worked as a tester on a production line, we were
puzzled by the audio stages of some of the receivers working below spec.
Everything seemed all right except the high frequency response was below
the test limits.  Eventually I tracked it down to one of the transistors
being put in backwards by the girls making the boards.
