Libraries like these are meant for runtime validation. I agree though. I prefer to use the compiler itself (tsc --noEmit) than recreating the validation logic.

It doesn't compete with static type system, it complements it. Static type system in typescript can't do anything with unknown/any values that are crossing i/o boundary - they require runtime assertion to bring them into statically typed, safer world.
