Should be obvious. The intrinsic quality of code has nothing to do with another quality; improvements provided by linting, type annotations, or static analysis.

Should be obvious. The intrinsic quality of code has nothing to do with another quality; improvements provided by linting, type annotations, or static analysis. If your linter introduces syntax that breaks under a future environment, or your type annotations are merely 99% correct, or your static analysis gives a false-positive for an untested config, then expect a decrease in net quality.
