This isn't true and hasn't been true for a while. Angular's ahead-of-time compiler converts the template strings into TypeScript which are then type checked, all at compile time.

Can you put a breakpoint in the template?

In .tsx templates you can.

Templates frequently need loops and conditionals. In the case of .tsx this logic is in TyprScipt so you can debug it just like any other TypeScript. In the case of Angular such logic is written in an undebuggable custom syntax.
