i think you might have misunderstood the meaning of “producing text” in the parent comment.

the kind of people the parent comment was talking about tend to believe they can send three emails and make millions of pounds suddenly appear in business value (i’m being hyperbolic and grossly unfair but the premise is there).

they think the idea is far more valuable than the implementation - the idea is their bit (or the bit they’ve decided is their bit) and everyone else is there to make their fantastic idea magically appear out of thin air.

they aren’t looking at tests and don’t have a clue what a linter is (they probably think it’s some fancy device to keep lint off their expensive suits).
