As a once-and-likely-future vendor of transpilers, I think about this a lot. The TypeScript's and JSX's of the world are not chained to the back-compat firmaments the way languages and platforms are, and taking bets on them is something we should _culturally_ discourage.
If your tool comes with a transpiler in the default toolchain, it's a distributed liability whose costs you are externalizing onto unsuspecting teams that probably can't afford it.
