Repro

{
  "extends": ["plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"]
}

typeof window === undefined
typeof window === null

Expected Result

error  Typeof comparisons should be to string literals  valid-typeof

Actual Result

🦗

Additional Info

The @typescript-eslint/recommended ruleset disables the valid-typeof ESLint rule on the basis that it's covered by TypeScript's "This condition will always return 'false'" handling.

However, this is incorrect: TypeScript does not detect this incorrect condition in the case of null and undefined, and so the valid-typeof rule should be re-enabled in the recommended preset.
