Python is among the most popular languages and it doesn't require a compile step.
TypeScript is entirely metadata, so it just doesn't make sense to need to compile it.
I don't understand your point. I don't even understand your argument.
The java runtime runs java.
And C++ and Rust are compiled and have no runtime.
Java is compiled, too. The Java runtime is the JVM which runs byte code.

JVM runs java bytecode.
Java bytecode is compiled from Java (javac), Scala (scalac), etc
the jvm bytecode has been designed to be bytecode from day 1.
JS is the TS's bytecode but it has been designed to be a language to be developed in, which causes impedance mismatches as tools and people get confused about the usage context.
So why doesn't any major runtime run Java natively? Or C++ natively? Or Rust natively?
Why is this such a cool unlock that hasn't been done for any other language?
