I use TS every day on multiple projects.
1 is almost a non issue. Most libraries have decent types and TS has features for adding types yourself in your project.
2 - I've never had to disable strict mode to get a library working. Worst case you can use things like `any` as an escape hatch out of TS but it is usually tucked away in a black box that is nicely typed. Do you have examples?
3 - Correctness is important for most professional software not just billion dollar NASA projects. Runtime errors cause crashes which wrecks UX.
