It’s an issue because node has a system of LTS releases, whereas TypeScript has quarterly updates, so the release cadence is different.
Updating node is much more fraught than updating TypeScript. For example, it may break any native code modules. That’s why users are directed to use the LTS and not the most recent release, so that there’s enough time for libraries to add support for the new version.
On the other hand, I usually adopt a new TypeScript version as soon as it comes out.
