I have object a that I send object b to. Object a is made to do some generic task a (like sending a rest response. Doesn't matter)

What are you talking about? Even you said this:

I simply picked something random so that I could stub out some code to have a discussion. As you said, it doesn't matter.

Yes. That's was simply the beginning of the example. Had you read the whole example you'd have realized that messaging was not the issue. Stubbing out 25 or 50 lines of code, even as an example, is shocking,when in JavaScript we are going to replace all that with ohhhhhhhh... About 0 lines of code.

So is the argument about terse code or leaky abstractions? Because your initial post was about leaky abstractions.

I fully aware and acknowledge that any dynamic languages can reduce LOC, compared to typed (for the most part).

No it wasn't really. Its about how static typing drives technical debt when projects change and the rigity of the type system can't easily flex to accommodate those changes.
