You understand you don't have to use these new features, right? You can continue using comment-driven DocBlocks and not use any typing. They are purely optional features. To advocate not adding the features simply because you don't want them, when they are plenty of other people who do want them and do find a use for them, is pretty selfish. It's also pretty arrogant to assume your workflow and setup will work for everyone, and that they should just deal with it.
