esbuild dependency breaks "yarn --ignore-optional"

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

A backstage app should build after doing yarn install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-optional

Actual Behavior

@backstage-cli package build
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.
lerna ERR! yarn run build stderr:

Error: The package "esbuild-darwin-arm64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild.

If you are installing esbuild with npm, make sure that you don't specify the
"--no-optional" flag. The "optionalDependencies" package.json feature is used
by esbuild to install the correct binary executable for your current platform.

Steps to Reproduce

yarn install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-optional
yarn tsc
yarn build

Context

I’m using --ignore-optional because of a cpu_features module build failure that gets (optionally) pulled in through tht ssh modules.
