It's not that it's bad. But sometimes the project and the team are not that big that its qualities matter. And you lose a little bit of readibility with type-intensive code.

And nicely written TypeScript looks awesome, but badly written TypeScript can be a huge mess, as it can with any language, but TypeScript purists sometimes forget that the language is just a part of a nicely written and designed system.

I would describe typed code as more readable, not less. I take “readability” to mean ease of understanding, not how much my code sounds like written english. Not knowing what the type of something is makes understanding harder.

Inferred types seem to be an indication that even the most type-safe languages (eg rust) recognize that types hinder readability, at least in some way.
