Sure, but they don't turn into dumpster fires because of the types, as untyped projects tend to do

I don't know that that's true. When the types in a program are designed in a way that's sufficiently out of sync with what a program needs to do, you can get a lot of mess working around them.

Can we say that's misuse of the tools? Sure. Is it less likely than things becoming a mess without types? Probably? Even more so as the tools improve and as the people involved know better how to use them.
