The offside rule is patronizing. :)
It tries to force you to lay out your program in a certain way.
If you like that way, good. If you don't like that way, you can
use {;} as you say.

Huh, that seems patronizing. Well at least I can override it with {}.

That's how it is defined in the Haskell definition.
But there is a reason. The offside rule (or whatever yoy want to
call it) is there to give visual cues. If you were allowed to override
these easily just because it's parsable in principle then your code
would no longer have these visual cues that make Haskell code fairly
easy to read.
