I think it does. This area where webpack is trying to shine is just over-complex, so the tool can't be simple, that's it.

And most importantly as for me, developers who works full-time on such projects can sustain the higher quality and improve it over time and if you chose it for now it may been relevant year later or 2-3... I hope at least.

The tool aims to be agnostic to work flow it's a trade-off to be generic in our case. We realize it too.
