Why does the new peerDependency check make sense for development dependencies?

Description

With 2.3.0 the build fails if I have devDependencies that are not whitelisted. Why does this make sense? In the devDependencies I need to list all dependencies that I need for the build and test cycle, that includes e.g. jest or extra tools only required for development. Isn’t this the default setup? It adds a lot of churn to have to whitelist each of these dependencies.
