Then please do the natural experiment: on a new spreadsheet, select "Applied
Styles" (only Default is shown); on A1, select Format->Conditional->Condition;
define the condition as "Cell value is equal to 1" => apply style "Accent";
confirm and see that the applied styles list still only shows you the single
"Default" format. It will not show you "Accent" even if you put "1" to A1,
because "Applied" is very simple: it only shows those that are directly
applied, not through some automated machinery. As said, it's not that simple.

Anyway, I generally disagree with any changes that psychologically split styles
from document content. It makes styles more "voodoo magic", instead of the
opposite goal of making styles the integral part of the document and user's
workflow. So my disagreement is not only technical, but also methodological.
