Agreed in perfect world, but unfortunately any process that involves humans will involve human error.
We do code review because we expect human error when the code was written by a human, but then we also expect not human error when the code is being read (reviewed) by a human? Any process that expects zero human error will always fail.
That's where linters add value: they allow devs to do what humans are good at (the creative complex and interesting stuff) while the bots do what bots are good at (the boring repetitive stuff)
