I have news for you. A lot of people, including me, do know that catching an entire class of bugs at compile time makes your code less buggy.

The trade-off as usually stated is that more things are possible with more dynamic code, and statically typed code is slower to develop with.

Elixir has much more interesting features that have nothing to do with the types/no types discussion and I 100% agree it would be more interesting to discuss those instead.

My point exactly. Sidetracking every Elixir discussion with complaints about type (especially when they are actually working on it!) gets tiring quick, when Elixir is much more than "just" a dynamic typed language. It's literally missing the forest for the trees.
