Yes, linter scripts can also be used for banning conversions between
unrelated pointers, so we don't actually need
type safety in a programming language.

Or linter scripts can be used to make sure you don't have
memory-safety problems in your programs, so we don't
need memory-safe programming languages.

Linter scripts are a solution yet to show its effectiveness. And
that's been the case for various suggestions of their
use for more than 40 years.
