Intertia. TS is way more popular than Coffeescript ever was, so there will be more code to maintain, and the network effect applies here.
Who are these people, why are they moving away from it?
If you need static typing for JS now, TS is your best bet. You can also wait N years for TC-39 to add it but so far nothing has been proposed.
