Came from a statically typed background when I landed with JavaScript and - absolutely loved - the fact that it wasn't. I've been using TypeScript for the better part of four years for my day job, but I'll still use plain old JavaScript when the situation allows for it. TypeScript has become a religion, and I've seen folks screaming in Github issues because a 14 line package didn't export types.
TypeScript has its place and it's nice points. It's got downsides too. Just as using plain JavaScript does. Stop bemoaning people who don't use TypeScript. Stop lauding people who choose it as the default "because types." Right tool for the right job, and all that.
