It's just the way we communicate and it can be both depending on the context.

When you arrive, you will find many people there. Likewise the present perfect is used instead of the future perfect: As soon as you have finished, we will go out. So it is a question of tense usage or idiom rather than style. |

So I'm not really in a position to comment on your explanation of the subject. Because all I know is that we would write and/or say. Therefore... When you arrive, you will find many people there. Would be "When you arrive, you'll find many people there." As soon as you have finished, we will go out. Would be "As soon as you've finished, we'll go out. " Regardless of nationality, I'm sure that if you asked 100 anglophones what the "present perfect" or "future perfect" is, at least 90% of them wouldn't be able to guess; not even if under threat of death.
