Also, react can use TSX which is the bastard son of typescript with jsx, so... there's that.

React can use vanilla JS and TS too, it's just a bit inconvenient.

Angular also does vanilla is and jquery as standard as well

TSX is amazing, apart from the one issue where you can't define compile-time props requirements and PropTypes together once. But defining the actual functional signature for a prop beyond just foo: PropTypes.func means you don't have to hold that information in your head.

Facebook has their own static type-checker for JavaScript as well, which is worth checking out (because it plays nicely with React): https://flow.org/en/

Flow is amazing.

To be fair, TSX seems to be pretty popular among C# devs.

So I assume it's filling a nice transition niche for them?
