In the end, and in the big picture scheme of things, what is programming about? It's about providing value. There are plenty of systems and tech built that do not use types, yet they do provide value. And those systems may seem horrific to you, but none the less they provide value. These systems were built by hacking/mashing things together, but the fact that they work, still remains. You might hate for example WordPress, but it powers tons of web and those websites might not exist if it wasn't for WordPress.
Imagine a case where you can start to be productive with WordPress within few months, but if you were to learn the whole thing, it might take few years, the value provided would be a lot lower.
I went 4-5 years of my career without knowing anything about types, yet I believe I was able to provide software that benefitted the world.

It's not that black and white.
