Same here, and if you really need its key features just add JSDoc and Zod to any given vanilla JS codebase.
Passing around mixed types is not necessarily an anti-pattern either ie- you can do type-checking at runtime and use them as conditions for branching into different control flow patterns - so I don't see the benefit of universal enforcement; not that most TS codebases do anyway (ironically).
I personally don't have a need for TS which introduces an extra build step, extra ritual when defining functions, and no performance benefit over vanilla JS. If I want stricter coding pattern with performance benefits I will use C/C++ for the job instead.
