CRA 5 installs prettier-plugin-tailwindcss which changes prettier behavior to sort classNames (also it's unlicensed) #12044

Describe the bug

After installing CRA5, prettier started reporting errors for class names which aren't sorted. Upon inspection, I found this to be caused by the install of prettier-plugin-tailwindcss. This lib is undesirable as it alters the default Prettier config, and because it's installed as a plugin unconfigurable.

In addition, this library is unlicensed, so using it is suspicious legally.
In addition, this library is uglified, so its published code can hardly be reviewed and may be harmful.

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install CRA 5
  2. install prettier
  3. Write any kind of code with classNames e.g. table table-condensed which is already sorted as desired
  4. find prettier to complain about the className order while it works fine in CRA4 or any project with standard prettier

Expected behavior

I would expect CRA5 not to alter default Prettier config.

Actual behavior

The prettier-plugin-tailwindcss plugin is installed and alters Prettier config.
