Dan Abramov had mentioned in a CRA, since everything is going through a build step. You should think of it more as everything is a dependency instead of a dev dependency.

Bundle analyzing tools or websites (example bundlephobia) do not read your dev dependencies. I'd recommend keeping it as a dependency!
