Maybe this is my years of experience talking, but curious if anyone else sees a connection between a slow delivery (aka slower development time) and less bugs? The idea is that developers have more time to think about the solution, write better code and overall not feel so rushed just to get something out the door. In my experience, the more pressure put on developers to get the thing done, the more bugs are introduced.

I certainly see a connection (several actually) between having more bugs and following development processes that emphasise metrics like time between starting work on a job and running the code in production. The advocates of Accelerate and the annual Google DORA reports seem to have taken over the web development asylum lately but the underlying arguments and data are still dubious at best.
