I don't think there are no use cases, but I think they are rarer than people think, and that for the most of development TS will be picked because it's someone preference not because of its actual benefits.

Do you really think that use cases for statically typed languages are rare?

TS =/= statically typed languages

Static typing can be a very useful tool especially when the language is designed around it, in TS it is a painful kludge.
