macOS 10.14.6 npm version = 8.1.2 node version = 16.13.0 (I also tried 14.4.0, same error)

Output:

Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.
