I don't know why esbuild still lacks these features over all these years. Seems like everyone is using it for various things (like vite) but no one wants to contribute to it to make it The One Tool. Is it JS/TS devs not wanting to work on a Go app? Folks not wanting to disrupt the status quo of Vite?

ESBuild already does a lot, and is already extendable via plugins https://github.com/esbuild/community-plugins. I think it's more that the maintainers of ESBuild want it to focus on doing the essentials well (which it does, IMO).
