It doesn't always work in situations where 'require' can't be statically evaluated at run-time (webpack would work in this situation) - for example I filed a bug recently[0] Even though the bug was closed I was impressed with the thorough and timely response from the esbuild developers which explained the reasoning behind it. For me it was worth changing my project just so I could continue using esbuild, it really is that good!
