Why does Babel loader beautify code automatically? I want to keep it as it is. Is there any way to set it？

Babel does not try to preserve the code styles of input. If you want to preserve whitespaces, you can use recast. Or in your cases, if you want to minify the output, you can pass the Babel generated code to terser.
