No webpack's require.context function is very bad
Parcel tries to promote standardized and cross-tooling syntax, therefore it doesn't support any webpack specific things.
Besides that, the webpack specific things are just weird and not that usefull in most cases. (as there usually is a standardized similar approach that looks and works better...)
I've personally never used require.context, but it seems to me like a webpackified glob require.
See this for docs: https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#glob-primer
Parcel's resolver natively supports globs...
It's also supported across several tools, not just Parcel or Webpack.
When using webpack specific or parcel specific things you just block yourself from ever upgrading to a better/newer tool.
