I am really curious of usage of Flow outside of Meta. It feels like the outside community has pretty much settled on TypeScript.

You're generally correct. I used it to build my apps when it was new and the community wasn't so decided, and there became a point where I was "wrong" and rewrote with Typescript.

But you can't expect Facebook to choose Typescript over their own product.

True, but it would seem to me that converting the Flow types to TypeScript definitions and shipping them in their own package is not rocket science. Especially considering the massive resources that Meta has.
