Description
[TypedArray](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray) is now supported by all common browsers. The `FeatureDetection.supportsTypedArray` check is therefore no longer needed.
We are currently using it in `DepthPlane` and `ImageryLayer`.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Locate FeatureDetection.supportsTypedArray and trace its current uses in DepthPlane and ImageryLayer. Read those entry points and any nearby coverage, then verify that the obsolete check is no longer needed in either location and that the feature-detection API is deprecated consistently.
