I've always found this a thoughtful practice.  It helps ensure nobody writes:

       if (bla)
           just_one_line();
           /* perhaps a comment, other stuff ... */
           just_another_line();

which I've seen happen countless times.  It also is nice for others who
come along and extend the branch from just one line to multiple ones,
as the brackets are already in place.

Why do you find it objectionable?
