This is a tired argument. SCSS was supposed to take over CSS... still waiting. For a hot minute, CoffeeScript was supposed to take over javascript. In the end, CoffeeScript didn't have a chance, but at the time many thought it did.

Typescript may be different and may be better, but there is a lot of rightly justified hesitation to adopting it.

By what definition? Can I execute SCSS in modern browsers without needing to compile it?

As far as i know this was really never aim of the project. But everybody uses it. I would even say it oppened doors for JS compilation.. because everybody already has build process for css so why not js.
