Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently, all types are optional, or at least a lot of them. See: https://github.com/search?q=repo:googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client+%22%7C+null%22&type=code So, this leads to an awful development experience.
For example, see Google Calendar API:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client/blob/6e8c998cee93dbc79a6f306c2150414b933c22c9/src/apis/calendar/v3.ts#L720
But on the other hand, we can see in docs that some fields are optional and some are not.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to see real types with the minimum amount of optional fields.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Of course, we can check everything manually or disable TypeScript checking at all. But I believe it's not a good solution, as why do we need typings which do not work.
