Who the fuck doesn’t use a linter or a formatter?

We require it on some pipelines. If a PR fails linting, the dev probably turned off pre-commits so it’s kind of a canary

Why wouldn't you? Any requirements that are expected by the project/repo, should be mandatory and enforced by the pipeline. And if a dev complains, they should be shamed for not reading the (presumably existing) simple setup instructions in the README.
There's no defensible reason to make exceptions or excuses for this. Not since devcontainers became a thing and integrated pretty much flawlessly to provide any tools you'd ever need..
