I use mini-css-extract-plugin, css-loader and sass-loader.
Output on CSS change:

As I assume this is because Webpack is basically a JS bundler, so CSS is bundled to JS and mini-css-extract-plugin extracts CSS to a separate chunk. Is that accurate?
Why does Webpack rebuild JS output files when only my styles change?
