Maybe initially, but that `any` type really defeats the purpose of having types in the first place. Where I work we have several 100% TS apps and we've banned the `any` type except for very rare exceptions. It's always better to define a type so that it can be easily used elsewhere, and it also helps prevent typos.

for data objects (no methods) you could at least use Object instead of any, this should prevent anyone from calling methods on it.
