You're baffled, really? The core pitch is that JS developers don't have to learn a whole new language or paradigm such as in the case of other compile-to-JS languages. They can write JS, sprinkle on some TS, and gradually migrate to full TS while learning it along the way. The amount of developer friction is much lower, so that's why it succeeds to a much higher extent (in terms of usage) than other compile-to-JS languages like Elm, PureScript, ReasonML/ReScript, etc.
