I don't see how TypeScript leads to "Enterprise JavaScript" any more than ES2015 does, given the new class syntax.

If I was writing TypeScript, I'd be using functions and simple objects.

It helps people who don't know JS code for JS. And it helps people like c# / java devs just writing code without learning more that typescript. This is very powerful but it also can lead to Enterprise-like code writing.

TypeScript is a superset of EcmaScript, and adds nothing new except for types. Only exactly that.
