I dunno, I think the productivity promises of dynamic typing have been conclusively disproven, so maybe next time people will be able to at least say "we know that isn't a good idea".
Maybe there is an argument there for non-programmers in technical fields, that use programming at their jobs, but it isn't their primary job. Like a data scientist or architect, trying to use something convenient and easy. The problem is, that usually it catches up with them (and with bigger programs), in terms of poor quality code and bad habits. The argument then becomes if they should have learned better practices and habits in the first place. Sometimes what seems like a shortcut, is not really so.
