Good code is code that is easier to change, and microservices are that by design. No wonder microservices end up being better code.

Microservices architecture by itself doesn't guarantee making anything better. Making services smaller doesn't automatically make easy-to-understand code. That's why a lot of companies that didn't pay attention to what they are doing went from monolithic architecture to "distributed big ball of mud" or "distributed monolith". Just like any other architecture pattern, for microservices to work, the team needs to make conscious decisions to overcome the challenges specific to their architecture.
