> Personally I find type systems a lot more annoying because they lead to more verbose code and more cognitive load.

Have you forgotten the cognitive load of "what does this return and what can I call or access on it?"

> There are studies that show bugs being proportional to the number of lines of code, regardless of language

But that value isn't the same across all languages, only the trend.

No, that was explicitly true across languages. That the number of bugs increases with code length within a particular language is a trivial fact.
