it is just my subjective opinion so it looks better with it than without
it.

so there are three variants

DROP DATABASE ( FORCE) name;
DROP DATABASE name (FORCE)
DROP DATABASE name WITH (FORCE)

It is true so in this case it is just syntactic sugar

Maybe

DROP DATABASE name [[ WITH ] OPTIONS( FORCE ) ] ?

It looks well for me

DROP DATABASE test WITH OPTIONS (FORCE)
DROP DATABASE test OPTIONS (FORCE)

?
