Except that if you write things like

a=[[[1, 2],
    [3, 4],
    [5, 6]],
   [[7, 8],
    [5, 6]],
   [9]]

as

a=[[[1, 2],
        [3, 4],
        [5, 6]],
    [[7, 8],
        [5, 6]],
    [9]]

and say there is no lose of legibility, then I'll seriously question
your taste.

BTW, for somebody with python-mode installed and is using Emacs, it is
actually *harder* and a *bigger* waste of time to write the code as
you proposed, because by default whenever you press enter the cursor
is already at exactly the location in the former style, and you got to
count spaces in order to go to the place you proposed.
