I get your point, but I think it's misplaced. Types are not new, in fact from a CS perspective they are very old.
I think it's a shame that learning about (even just basic) types is being taught as some new thing that can help to make your code better, rather one of the fundamentals that we should be learning from the beginning, which can still provide benefits even when writing in dynamically typed languages.
Perhaps it's just a case of bad marketing and lazy educators.
