Think about what you just wrote there.
It's also entirely possible that a given tool can work fine, but other people can build on top of it without irrationally claiming that said tool doesn't work. Elixir and Kotlin are examples of tools that improve upon other runtimes(Erlang and Java), but I've yet to hear anyone from either language community act so dismissive to anyone who chooses to write applications in Erlang or Java as some TypeScript users are towards vanilla JavaScript users.
