The scenario you are describing (TypeScript diverging from JavaScript) is unlikely in my opinion.

Orta, a member of the TypeScript team, describes the reasons why in his video "How Does the TypeScript Team Try to Avoid Negative Effects on the JS Ecosystem" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr0TnQ2mHwY

It directly answers the question of "What would a malicious version of TypeScript look like" and explains why this is unlikely to occur.
