No intellisense for require in ts files

Typescript does not resolve modules of require expressions as it does in plain js files.

Code

require("s:\\dev\\easy-attach\\")({
    eagerExitDebugProxy: true,
    port: "preconfigured",
    
});

Expected behavior:
This is what I get in VS Code in plain js files:

Actual behavior:
However, the module is not resolved in ts files:

Probably this is intended and my use case is a very special one.
However, typescripts repository description still says:

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

In this case, typescript has better support for require in js than in ts which is a little bit confusing considering typescript being a superset of javascript.

More use cases:

• import {} from ... cannot be conditional, but require can be (when targeting NodeJS).
• require can be used in Webpack when using hot reload to load the reloaded module.
