That's certainly one opinion about it.
One could also say that quality is related to the functional output.

Right, I said nothing that contradicts that ("High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also ..."). High quality functional output is a necessary requirement, but it isn't sufficient to determine if code is high quality.
Sure, I guess it depends on what matters to you or to your evaluation criteria.
My point was that it's all subjective in the end.
It's not really subjective if you're at all reasonable about it.
Imagine writing a very good program, running it through an obfuscator, and throwing away the original code. Is the obfuscated code "high quality code" now, because the output of the compilation still works as before?
