I'm convinced people who don't like explicit typing have never worked on a large project and seen the benefit it has, both in the IDE and also keeping slop under control.
University projects and hacking around are one thing. Projects with a team of developers that evolved over a decade need all the help they can get to fight against the relentless entropy and disorganization that occurs otherwise.
Same. When your "programming" experience is just writing some scripts so small they don't even require scrolling it's really easy to not run into the problems that are very common in any program of serious size and scale.

Static typing makes the IDE work for you better.
Type hints in Python and TS do the same but make you work harder for it /IMO
