At the moment there are still enough people with type ratings for the airlines to choose from. It makes it cheaper and quicker for the airline to get you online. When the choice of type-rated pilots runs low then airlines will look for good people without the type-ratings. Having a type rating with no hours is usually the same as having no type rating, although I think Ryanair will expect you to have a type rating AND pay for those hours "gaining experience". But I haven't heard of any other airline wanting bare type ratings.
