I "don't actually understand why people like Typescript", or lemonade, or skiing, or eating fish. I know why I like it, including static typing, and how I can find a balance with using its features (and not using some).
On the other hand I'm not trying to hide that I'm bitter about the mental lazyness around typescript - I had some bad experience with interviewers who praised ts (without ever bothering to learn the core principles of javascript) a bit too much for my taste (but again, this may just be dismissed as anecdotal evidence, which it is).
