Well look at how the Python ecosystem squirmed real Pythonesque when adopting these type hints; and that's a packaged runtime that can just bump the major version and do a hard breaking change.

That doesn't work for JavaScript; you need full backwards compatibility at all times. Porting runtime type information to JS would change the language innards so much, it'd just be a different language in the end. At that point we could equally argue whether browser vendors should ship a Python runtime in browsers and add support for <script type="application/python">.
