Why would facebook be interested in making it easy to use a technology that they directly compete against?

Speaking for the React team, we have little reason to suggest people use Flow over TypeScript.

I haven’t personally followed the status of TS in CRA closely, but I know it’s a popular request among our users so I would love for us to make it easy.

That's certainly comforting to hear, then.

Sometimes it gets confusing connecting the negative news of these large companies to their cool open source projects.

Eh, the React team in particular is pretty even-handed when it comes to what goes into CRA. This release, for example, adds support for Apollo, which goes head-to-head with Relay.

I’ve been pretty happy with the team’s thoughtful approach to adding a dependency or not.
