What is the reason for limiting buffers to the node_modules folder?
you've misunderstood, it just emits a warning for using the Buffer constructor which is deprecated in favor of Buffer.from and others[1]

it's limited to code outside of the node_modules folder to prevent dependencies from triggering an unactionable message
