build steps make sense for apps, they make much less sense for libraries.

This might be true, but it's not about build steps, it's about having detailed iformation of the types of the objects that the library is serving. not knowing the typing of the functions a library is serving is... poor. Maybe typescript is too strict and having something like type hinting like python has would be enough since linters pick up the hints from the libraries, but doing just JS only fuck the people that use the library.
