This is silly. There are tools that enforce the types of policy we're talking here very well. In a TypeScript codebase you would not let CI pass if the TypeScript build fails. Locally you can still run the output. There's not much room for debate and I've never seen a TypeScript project that both has CI and allowed failing builds to be merged. I've also never heard of someone proposing that PRs failing to build should be allowed to be merged.
