But the end users can't run the typescript, whereas they can run javascript directly. So, an external tool is required by the developer.
A similar comparison would be shipping a program to end users, saying that 'no dependencies required', but instead of giving them a binary to run, you hand them a c++ file. I think everyone would agree that a C++ compiler is clearly a required dependency in that case.
