The alternative is that the code exists but it has no warning to indicate the code smell. TS is clearly preferable to that. Further, you're wrong to suggest that blocking the code from running on type errors is "the only reason" for it. TS offers very nice autocomplete support that you can't get without it as well as jump to definition and yes, warnings.
