Yes this! I've worked so much with static typing and I always think this when people talk about all the bugs that it prevents. I do from time to time wonder why stuff isn't working while I'm building it in a dynamic language just to find that I have a typo somewhere and I might get annoyed but then I think about all the types I would have to write and maintain and I'm happy again. I'm convinced that most of the time there is not enough ROI to justify the added complexity and mental burden of adding something that does nothing for the problem you're trying to solve.
