Cannot run ANY ESM modukes locally

I am pulling my hair out trying to follow the documentation to create an extremely simple web-app using ESM (imports). It does NOT WORK and the documentation gives me NO info as to why.

No matter what I do, MapView ALWAYS GIVES THIS ERROR
Uncaught TypeError: Error resolving module specifier “luxon”. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”, “../” or “/”. languageUtils.js:5:508

Why is it not working, what are build tools and HOW do I USE them. I am just using plain Vanilla JavaScript and I have run npm init and npm install with node

npm init
npm install @arcgis/core

Why does the documentation not CLEARLY explain how to do this. Why is the documentation misleading or lacking, or both.

<html> <head> <script src="js/app.js" type="module"></script> </head> <body> <script type="module"> import Map from "../node/node_modules/@arcgis/core/Map.js"; import MapView from "../node/node_modules/@arcgis/core/views/MapView.js"; const map = new Map(); const view = new MapView({ container: "viewDiv", map: map, }); </script> </body> </html>
