Well I can think of one reason in this case - type checking,

Do you really have to ask me that? Who do you think would do something so diabolical?

and frankly I have no idea why someone wrote it in typescript.

Despite your complete lack of code sanitation I actually hold you in pretty high regard

In any case, you're being sweet. I won't hex you today.
