I'd argue that lints are part of the language - they are run as part of the compiler, and block code from compiling, like the "must use" lint. That said, they are configurable, so I see your point - they are more permissive than what Ada allows OTOH, I believe you can turn lint warnings into hard errors for only production, allow for fast development but programmatically disallowing them from reaching production. But again, thats configurable.
