Can someone explain to me what the advantages of ESM actually are to me as a backend dev who uses import / export syntax in TS already?

Parent article mentions static analysis and synchronous loading on startup but that has never been an issue for me despite building some large and complex Node apps over the years.

I’ve looked into this in the past but all I could find are strong opinions without solid technical reasoning.
