Are you doing full stack or backend development? On the browser a build step is needed anyways as you need transpilation to be able to use new ecmascript features, and you need a bundler for module management. Node is kept more up to date so I can see skipping compilation for that. I was already used to needing a build step before switching to typescript so it didn't matter much to me.
