Description

By using "strict-boolean-expressions" you are implicitly to enabling "no-unnecessary-condition" since:

const a = {}
if (a) {
  console.log("a")
}

will raise an error for "Unexpected object value in conditional. The condition is always true @typescript-eslint/strict-boolean-expressions"

I would like to have an option to not get these warnings. I practice I have a legacy code base with 1000 errors of this type if I enable it. So i would very much like to be able to enable or disable this feature. So that I can you the feature for what is meant for.

Fail

const a = {}
const b:number|null = 0
if (a) {
  console.log(b?"a":"b")
}

Pass

const replace = 'me';
const a = {}
if (a) {
  console.log("a")
}
