That's true, but I think when you choose to use a programming language, you essentially commit to doing things its way, otherwise you end up dealing with lots of friction and having to reinvent a lot of wheels. Like the Deno team claim they do. Taking up Typescript then ignoring best practices when trying to use it is unfortunate. This kind of thing would be a teaching moment for a junior engineer. It's like saying you don't want to use a dishwasher because if you stack bowls on top of each other, it doesn't clean them well. Well, a dishwasher has its faults - a lot of dishes are not dishwasher-safe, etc. - but your reason kind of misses the point.
