Maybe I'm projecting my own views here but I interpreted those two statements as being about different things: the finished product vs the process that gets you there.
I care deeply about the end result that is presented to the user who has no idea what code even looks like. How we put together the UI. How we load data to minimize delays. That's "the craft" to me.
I care much less about code style, linting etc. that no-one other than a small group of developers will ever see. To a certain extent the latter enables the former. But I've often witnessed the latter being valued over the former and that's where things start to go wrong.
