Ah, I hear you - I'm not a fan of enabling a bunch of arbitrary Babel plugins either. But many metaframeworks (Next.js, Create React App) use Babel behind the scenes and use its TypeScript plugin for out-of-the-box TypeScript support. That's very useful, as long as the libraries you use don't use any of the Babel-incompatible features - which is most of the time, but not for TypeORM. So yes, it's exactly because I don't want to be configuring all kinds of language support for my projects that I'd recommend being able to work with (plain!) Babel with a TypeScript plugin.
