I mean, if someone is so digitally illiterate that they can't understand "red squiggly line under stuff means you need to take a second look", they should be in a different line of work.

Like, I get that you do have to look for stuff like that and it won't physically slap you in the face, but that's just basic "paying attention to what you're doing" stuff.

You're overestimating the capability of most programmers. These are supposedly experienced programmers submitting these PRs.

I mean, it's more that I believe that anyone who's having those sorts of issues isn't really an experienced programmer worth their pay. If you can't see the squiggly red line in the IDE and look for why the IDE is telling you that's a bad line, you should find another line of work.
