Vite generating too many small extra chunks

### Describe the bug

Vite generates unreasonably small extra chunks even for modules that are not dynamically imported anywhere.

In the actual repository we are working on, using CRA we had ~150 chunks whereas after migrating to Vite the number of chunks has significantly increased to ~230, many of which are <1kb.

This is a minimal reproduction of the issue: [code sandbox link](https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/airbnb-c68kj8)

The following vite config is used to reproduce the issue

```
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";

export default () => {
  return defineConfig({
    plugins: [react()],
    build: {
      minify: "terser",
      cssCodeSplit: false,
      assetsInlineLimit: Infinity,
      rollupOptions: {
        output: {
          experimentalMinChunkSize: Infinity,
          entryFileNames: `static/js/[name].[hash].js`,
          chunkFileNames: `static/js/[name].[hash].js`,
          assetFileNames: "static/media/[name].[hash][extname]",
        },
      },
    },
  });
};
```

In the reproduced example we expect 4 chunks, (index + 3 dynamic imports), however an extra chunk for useConsole is generated which is undesirable. In the actual repository we are working on, ~80 such extra chunks are generated.

```
