Vite fails to build when using AWS Amplify client-only code

[ffxsam]

Describe the bug

I'm using AWS Amplify (specifically their GraphQL client) in my Nuxt project (which uses Vite under the hood). I expect the project to build without issues, but instead, I get a build error.

• Check that there isn't already an issue that reports the same bug to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Make sure this is a Vite issue and not a framework-specific issue. For example, if it's a Vue SFC related bug, it should likely be reported to vuejs/core instead.
• Check that this is a concrete bug. For Q&A open a GitHub Discussion or join our Discord Chat Server.
• The provided reproduction is a minimal reproducible example of the bug.

It seems some code in aws-amplify depends on @aws-sdk/credential-provider-node which uses Node.js specific code.
The dependency graph is too complicated to investigate on our side. (https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/aws-amplify)

Closing for now as it's not actionable but feel free to create a new issue if it turns out to be a bug in Vite.
