I have ample experience with typed languages like C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, Go, AS3, Swift, etc.

Maybe I just have exceptional memory but I rarely encounter a problem that would have been solved by using TS.

It's about big codebases and team use, not about you.
Yep, they're a communication and documentation tool that happens to have pretty-good machine readability and correctness-checkability. Sometimes the person you're communicating with is your future self, is all. Sometimes it's just yourself five minutes from now, even.
They didn't mention big codebases or working on a team, though. Also, you can just use JSDoc.
Even in a solo project, you import libs from others. Never felt the need for those libs to have types.
Every use case is different.
