ng build --watch does not generate ngsw pwa workers.

See original GitHub issue

🐞 Bug report

ng build --watch does not generate ngsw-worker.js, and siblings.

Command (mark with an `x`)

new
build
serve
test
e2e
generate
add
update
lint
xi18n
run
config
help
version
doc

Is this a regression?

Not sure. Had the same problem with angular 8, figured out it was the watch flag only after i upgraded to 9.

Description

ng build --watch --prod: no ngsw-worker & siblings under dist/project ng build --watch --prod: ngsw-worker & siblings are generated under dist/project

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

new new foo cd foo ng add @angular/pwa ng build --watch --prod

Well, I just pulled my remaining hairs out by design then…

At least a warning and an option to turn this off would be great, because I am usually working with ng build --watch running in the background, and spent hours trying to figure out why they don’t get generated
