Yeah it would be great if TypeScript just became Elm.

Why? Cant you just use Elm if you prefer that? Typescript is specifically constrained by being a superset of JavaScript, Elm does not have that limitation.

I suppose I should have appended "/s".

I find it amusing/sad that there is simultaneously reticence in adopting Elm and an eagerness to gradually copy all of its features as the JS crowd learn that typed pure FP isn't such a bad idea after all.

There are significant downsides to using a niche language.

Ok, and there are significant downsides to using JavaScript, so pick your poison.

That goes without saying :)
