Makes sense. A misleading article to say the least.
"Following the coding standards is mandatory."
In the context it appears, I'd imagine that is for internal use and engine contribution - which is commonplace. Organisational coding standards aren't optional by default. Explicitly stating it is likely just to reduce friction, given the number of pull requests submitted.
From memory the EULA doesn't stipulate any requirements pertaining to the structure of your own code. A cursory search for relevant terms found no mention of the standards, either. I don't see how that would be practically enforceable.

Aye, that's the same conclusion I was starting to draw after I attempted a few keyword searches.
