Why does defaultValue have type any ? - TextField Material UI

Question

In the Material UI guidelines, for the component TextField, it is written than its defaulValue takes any as type. https://material-ui.com/api/text-field/

I played with it a bit: https://codesandbox.io/s/awesome-benz-7vj06 and it does seem that defaulValue takes several types. I would like to know what is the rational behind defaulValue to have type any.

Maybe that's because setting defaultValue to values such as: string number undefined null and array which would be converted using toString method is normal and it makes sense using type any instead of all these types.
