I disagree that this is an issue in every language - the problem is that in other languages the validation against some schema is more or less required for unmarshalling, and it's optional in TS.

Seeing a deserialization error immediately clues you in that your borders are not safe. Contrast that with TypeScript, where this kind of issue can lead to an insidious downstream runtime issue that might seem completely unrelated. This second scenario is very rare in other languages.
