> we have to ask ourselves when is Typescript done, instead of being an intellectual exercise for the sake of it.

You’re doing yourself an extreme disservice if this is all you perceive TypeScript as. It’s brought some semblance of order out of the Wild West that is JavaScript, which, like it or not, powers the vast majority of the modern web. Not only that, it’s also introduced a whole bunch of developers to different ideas about what a type system is capable of.

What powers the modern Web is JavaScript, unless you want to point us to a browser engine that understands Typescript.
