If you don’t have really flexible type system, strong typing makes certain things complicated.
Think for example a library like Pandas. Building something like that with a not-very-flexible type system would result in much more cumbersome user experience. In many cases you would likely feel the types just getting on your way while working interactively.
Microsoft has done great things with C# on this frontier, but it has also taken many years and probably a lot of brainpower.
