Theia moved to esbuild as default bundler with 1.72.x.
This removed our last direct dependency to webpack and gives us the change to migrate all our project repositories to use esbuild for bundling.
In addition, to a simpler configuration and way faster bundling time this also reduced the transitive dependency load since we no longer require lots of additional webpack plugins in every repository
