It absolutely does. Without static types an IDE/LSP can't reliably find all the references / definition and therefore can't refactor reliably either.
Consider something like this:
Now imagine you want to rename
Foo.bar
or find all references to it. Impossible without the type annotations.Ah, I see. You're talking about object properties. I don't see any issue with finding references to variables, but for properties, yeah.
