> I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't have their own native TypeScript runtime engine by now what would they do with it? ship it in Edge? great, now some small fraction of users can run TS natively. but most can't, so everyone would still transpile to JS anyway... it could work if Google did it, but i don't think MS has enough market share to have an influence here

It would work for server-side tools (like Deno). For example, cloud functions on various cloud platforms often support TS.
