 Hey there

 Thanks for your report and welcome to WordPress Trac! This issue has been
 reported multiple times and we're already tracking it in #42804. Please
 look for existing tickets before opening a new one :-)

 With that being said, there are different types of HTML standards and
 `type` is required in some of them. Omitting them will lead to validation
 errors. In your case there are only warnings because the `type` attribute
 is not required anymore with HTML 5, but it also doesn't cause any
 problems when it's there. So it's not that big of a big deal really.

 The latest patch on #42804 resolves this issue by allowing themes to omit
 the `type` attribute. The ticket is currently slated for the WordPress 5.0
 release.
