I get your point, but there's one entirely other aspect than fellow engineers: IDEs. IDEs do not know if you are a bad engineer or a good one. Therefore they have to treat every line of code as I wrote above: with the chance of it horribly mutating.

The whole reason about Typescript if you read the interviews was give better tooling. When you opt-out of it you opt-out of better tooling.

The irony is that even for hardcore, ultra conservative JS developers the advantages of TS is seeping in: if the package you use have typings your IDE would be able to use that info for code completion.
