I actually don't want to get into the argument over which is better, but dynamic and static types do change everything, also with regard to how those features in the list feel in a language.

Agreed! Asking which language is "better" is a fool's errand. But talking about specific upsides, especially in comparison with other languages, is a useful reductivist tool in determining how we can improve the story for each language.
