@babel/plugin-transform-runtime drastically increases the build size

[kdouglass-oliveai]

The new LDK could not find @babel/plugin-transform-runtime with yarn. Installing it as a dev dependency increases the unminified build size 500kb+. Webpack's build time went from < 1s to > 5s.

webpack 5.37.0 compiled in 5336 ms

Thank you @kdouglass-oliveai, I'll create a card to investigate this scenario.

Thanks @RusGraf. You can refer to issue 181 for more details on the compile time.
