They happen once in a blue moon and when they do, you hate your life for a day. Maybe a week.

Plain values also have the problem of losing context. This primarily hits those who don't know the code. That's the whole selling point of OOB and related abstractions, anyway.

Both of the above happening in tandem isn't that rare and a realistic risk factor for big projects.

I'm not sure why I would? TypeScript would still lead me straight to the problem via type incompatibilities; it just wouldn't perform the fix for me automatically in this one specific case
