Some developers and teams don't need the crutches. Type systems are also an encumbrance that comes with a non zero amount of issues. They slow development velocity down for a theoretical trade-off boon.

I've seen a type system take down a production system where a simple coercion would have functioned just fine. Literally the only thing wrong was the type defined and the code refused to run.
