I agree, but I would like to say that this is more due to the limitations of TypeScript (and JavaScript) and the need for developers to work around those limits, rather than anything else.
TypeScript is great, but it is also still very far from being complete in my opinion.
I used to do mostly Java and a bit of TypeScript, changed teams and now do mostly TypeScript and a bit of Java, and this unfinished feeling is striking, even for relatively basic things (enums).
I think the modern compiler options / TypeScript rules such as "hey this variable can be undefined but you didn't specify it", "hey, it can also be null, don't forget that" are commandable, but just don't work well for the web. I know it's configurable, but it just makes for a bad experience.
Still, love TypeScript. I wouldn't do any JavaScript project anymore, installing the TS compiler is always my first step.
