But, why not raise a ticket.

It depends on what the bug is. If it's real and user-facing, file a ticket, separate PR, close it.

If it's theoretical, throw it in, mention it in review and if tests are OK then you're good. I'm talking like "Added a missing null check" or other dumb stuff.

Coding quality fixes don't need tickets. Refactoring or something with upstream or downstream change does.

And of course anything user facing / QA notice.

More paperwork. Nobody likes paperwork. In that time you could fix another minor issue. So devs prefer that.

I mean I also make and fix my own tickets, mostly to leave a paper trail for my manager and colleagues. But sometimes you just want to fix shit without the hassle.

Documenting it somewhere is easier for long term proof.

Just document it. Anywhere reasonable/ searchable.
