  And I thought that such awareness was a part of being good at one's job.

    The dependency chain of modern Node projects is bewildering, and I wouldn't expect most developers to sift through the lockfiles and take note of every single dependency in the tree. (And I acknowledge this is an issue with the ecosystem)

    babel is a very popular build tool, so most js build tool authors are aware of it. The problem is that they are very few. With tools like CRA, vue-cli, angualr cli, babel is even less visible.
