Typescript won because Microsoft shipped vscode with out of the box TS integration that just worked. This is touched on in the article but understated.

They used the exact same approach as visual studio and .NET, and managed to eat up the entire fragmented ecosystem in a matter of years.

TypeScript won before people were using VS Code as much.
