Strict null in TS was before flow public release.

That is not true at all!

Flow was announced November 18, 2014: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1505962329687926/flow-a-new-...

Typescript got --strictNullChecks with Version 2 which was announced July 11, 2016: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2016/07/11/annou...

Even if I'm being charitable and look for the date when the PR (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/7140) was merged, we'd only get April 2016.
