It doesn't necessarily enhance or detract from software quality. You could use it for quality assurance or code health initiatives, but you'd have to prioritize that. Obviously it is hard to find a lot of humans who will (be allowed to) choose that over adding some new feature to satisfy the sales guys. And since you measure quality basically on vibes (how many times has this app crashed lately?) it probably takes a while to diffuse from commit to your consciousness. But I have seen it used for the purpose of quality, so I am cautiously optimistic.
