last 2 Chrome versions should also cover support for Andriod as these versions are typically the same and have the same set of features. Esbuild does not different between Chrome and Chrome for Andriod.

See: https://esbuild.github.io/api/#target

Your link does not mention Browserslist versions.

last 2 Chrome versions targets Chrome desktop versions only.
This can be verified on Browserslist.

Current versions:

With ChromeAndroid:

[alan-agius4]

The browserslist results are transformed to esbuild targets which does differentiate between Chrome for Android and Desktop.

We could add last 2 ChromeAndroid versions to the browserslist, but this is redundant as functionality wise, adding last 2 ChromeAndroid versions to your browserslist will not do anything to the output.

@alan-agius4 Thank you for clarifying.
