> In general, however, I still think APIs written in TypeScript first are a lot cleaner type-wise than typings retrofitted onto a JS API

Oh absolutely. Writing JS-first just seems like a lost cause. But there are still enough internal libraries and such written in very JS JS floating around that I come across at work that we need to interface with that I appreciate how much effort the TS team still puts into making sure I can drag those libs kicking and screaming into 2022.
