IMO, dynamically typed languages made more sense when type systems in mainstream statically language languages were much more primitive, and that limited what you could do - and it was often verbose when you could.
But the kind of type systems your average dev has to deal with improved a lot in their expressiveness since 90s. Type inference is basically mainstream, too. There are still things that cannot be described nicely, but they tend to be a lot more "magic" - the kind of stuff that lets you write code faster, but not necessarily write more readable and understandable code.
