why is meta viewport is not included by default?

[bchenSyd]

I believe this questions has been asked before and the solution been give was to use custom template.

My understanding is that ppl don't want to create a separate index.html file and that's why we are here; Is there any consideration why viewport meta is not included by default?

Please take a look at #897 and #906.

Basically you can use it as follows:

new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
   meta: {viewport: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no'}
});

Also there is no simple on off viewport but you can configure different options.
You can find a good list here:

Is there a standard for a good default?

i think the example you gave was good enough.

Most people don't care about the nuance of different options, and if they do, they should use custom template.
make sense?
