I'm sure there are such devs, but just yesterday I had a scenario where hours of time would have been saved by just having the "compiler"/build-tool tell me that I'd misspelled a property in some javascript code (in QML in fact, so the property name was defined at the C++ level - perhaps there are IDEs that could have flagged this automatically but mine didn't). That was enough to remind me static typing is virtually always preferable.
