Thanks for taking the time to open this ticket and PR!
Please note that the WordPress PHP coding standards explicitly disallow short array syntax in favor of the more readable array() syntax.
See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/07/12/php-coding-standards-changes/ and https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/php/#declaring-arrays
As such, I am afraid your change is not something we will implement.
If you believe there is now information that warrants a new proposal to change the coding standards for array syntax, I recommend reading up on those two links and especially the first proposal for that.
