Quantity of "shipped software" depends on many factors. Quality of the language is pretty far down the list. Take Javascript. It's usage numbers might have something to do with it being available in every browser on the planet.

And indeed there are apps that do, but overwhelmingly more apps just use plain javascript. But when typescript came along, a lot of people switched to it. So it cannot be just merely compiler/build friction imho.
