Parcel was released way before Webpack #OCJS. AFAIK, Webpack 4 decided to focus a bit on OCJS because parcel got something like 6k stars overnight and was the talk of the town. I have yet to work with a Webpack project that is completely config-less. I tried migrating to 4.0, but I had to still create a config file for everything to work.
I'd say it's less of a reaction to Parcel than to the underlying dissatisfaction with basic functionality requiring a config, which also caused Parcel.
I personally don't understand that dissatisfaction at all, since it's trivial to just initialize a configuration from a template. In fact, detecting the necessary configuration and writing it to a template once seems like a much better feature than working without a configuration.
I find configless defaults in webpack and typescript more of a nuisance than a feature, with babel taking a much better approach of requiring that you install a "preset" which is external to the core module and can be inspected in isolation.
