If you have to explain why something is not ambiguous it is by definition ambiguous.

Maybe they aren't the audience. I don't see how this is ambiguous to anyone that actually uses typescript
It was ambiguous to me. I've used TS a few times over the years, so I thought "native TypeScript compiler" meant AOT TS, not a TS compiler written in Go
deno runs typescript and it won't run 10x faster. It is ambiguous.
It seems Deno compiles typescript to JS just like everyone else.

No. Ambiguous means that a statement has many possible meanings, not simply that something might be confusing.
I'm a bit confused:

- It's not ambiguous because they mean $X.

- It is ambiguous because it has many possible meanings.

- It is not ambiguous because it has many possible meanings

that would imply the existence of an objective authority on the meaning of the statement, which is debatable
