@babel/plugin-transform-optional-chaining， configuration does not take effect about babel-loader HOT 1 CLOSED

If you build for development and not production (thus without a minifier) you'll see that optional chain is properly compiled.

I think the problem is that terser is undoing Babel's compilation to generate smaller code.

As an experiment, you can try replacing your input code with the following:

const obja = {
  foo: {
    bar: {
      baz: 42,
      _name: "FUTU COM",
    },
  },
};

const _baz = obja === null || obja === void 0 ? void 0 : obja.foo;

console.log(_baz, "_baz2223================");

const say = () => {
  console.log("hello world");
};
say();

export {};

it contains no optional chaining, but the output code still uses ?.. I suggest asking in https://github.com/webpack/webpack/discussions how to disable this specific minifier optimization.
