Eslint can't recognise nullish coalescing operator with plugin:n/recommended

[anantakrishna]

"eslint": "8.24.0"
"eslint-plugin-n": "15.6.0"

.eslintrc.yml:

root: true
env:
  node: true
  es2021: true
parserOptions:
  sourceType: module
extends:
  - eslint:recommended
  - plugin:n/recommended
  - prettier

package.json:

  "engines": {
    "node": "16"
  },

VSCode shows the following error for nullish coalescing operator:

Parsing error: Unexpected token ?

According to node.green, this operator is supported in Node v16: https://node.green/#ES2020-features--nullish-coalescing-operator-----

Running eslint with --print-config shows:

"ecmaVersion": 2019

Perhaps, this is the cause. But why is it 2019?

Disabling plugin:n/recommended removes the above mentioned eslint error, but it brings back another error about instance class fields, which is part of ES2022. This feature is supported by Node v16, but I can't specify "ecmaVersion": 2022 because Node v16 does not support it fully. This was my motivation for using eslint-plugin-n.

We currently support node >= v16 and eslint >= v7

Support was dropped in #90
