Intertia. TS is way more popular than Coffeescript ever was, so there will be more code to maintain, and the network effect applies here.

Who are these people, why are they moving away from it?

If you need static typing for JS now, TS is your best bet. You can also wait N years for TC-39 to add it but so far nothing has been proposed.

It seems to me that there is a divide of angular typescript apps that are about 3-5 years old and a new wave of react flow apps. Wonder what the stats are.

That might be just my bubble, but I've never heard of anyone using Flow, especially with React, whereas I often hear about React with TypeScript.
