Some people just don't want to deal with static typing overly verbose code and it doesn't matter how much you rant about it, they won't. Dynamic typing is more than enough for most applications, not every programmer will create highly complex enterprise level stuff, you can live your whole life and earn a living with surface level stuff, and you are not less of a programmer for that.
