The hidden implication in your extension of the foodie analogy is that consistent food must have worse quality.
That's not true, and if anything in software having consistent software delivery makes it more likely to achieve Michelin-graded level of quality, not less.
But the formatting is not all that "delivery" stands for.
I've worked on great codebases that would produce thousands of linter errors (lowball estimation), and on shitty codebases that were 100% compliant.
