I think it’s just a path a lot of developers have traveled, starting with JavaScript and moving to TypeScript. If you’ve gone through that pipeline than you probably feel very strongly about the benefits that TypeScript provides and it’s the fulcrum for your opinion on static vs dynamic typing

Too many web developers, basically, I don’t think the conflation is intentional

I think you have to give typescript a bit of a pass in terms of types. MS had unique constraints when designing it originally, so it's never going to meet the expectations of more hardcore "typists", but I think they've done a great job given the unique challenges. Not perfect for sure, but it's one of the few newer technologies where I think it's a clear win.
