llms benefit greatly from feedback and typing/type errors are one of the fastest and easiest methods of feedback to give to an llm.
Think about fitts law: the fastest place to click under a cursor is the location of the cursor. For an LLM the least context-expensive feedback is no feedback at all.
I think codebases that are strongly typed sometimes have bad habits that "you can get away with" because of the typing and feedback loops, the LLM has learned this.
