Styles do basically come with the Quirk that someone can identify what your standard Ts are likely going to be if they can identify your Style.

Hmm, well you could do Ts without Style Perks, but if you're capable of using Ts without someone being able to identify and take advantage of your Style, then perhaps instead of getting 4 Ts per Perk, you'd get only 3 Ts per "No Style" Perk.
