The ratio between built code size and source size can easily reach orders of magnitude in TypeScript projects with exhaustive types.
Sending all that code to the user is wasteful, and this wastefulness is multiplied by X end users, as opposed to the development process which is centralized.
From a money perspective the picture is different of course.
I would still love to be able to execute TS directly in the browser, but this is purely a DX thing.
