What is tsconfig.json?

Why can't I use both files?

If you're using TypeScript, you don't need the jsconfig.json file, because everything that jsconfig.json can do, tsconfig.json can do better. Additionally, having both files can cause conflicts and confusion, so it's best to remove the jsconfig.json file if you're using TypeScript.
