That's not a "Typescript" or language issue, that's a DOM/browser API weirdness

*though it could have been fixed by typescript had they cared.

How could Typescript have fixed this?

they could have provided a seperate api over top of this and error’d on use? It’s a clearly error-prone api.

I genuinely don't understand - how could Typescript provide a separate API on top of this? I usually do not expect Typescript to start generating code and APIs for me.

Also, Typescript is adding types on top of the JavaScript language, not the DOM API.
