Lol any

Last company I worked at used Typescript, but used any for everything... I have no idea why. I never got an actual answer.

Because they didn’t want to train their JS developers and didn’t want to cause friction for new projects. They get to say they’re using TS, with basically none of the real advantages. (Apart from general rational error checking.)
