webpack HtmlWebpackPlugin is not a constructor?

Question

package.json

   {
      "name": "test2",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "",
      "main": "webpack.config.js",
      "scripts": {
        "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
        "build": "webpack"
      },
      "author": "",
      "license": "ISC",
      "devDependencies": {
        "html-webpack-plugin": "^4.5.0",
        "webpack": "^5.1.3",
        "webpack-cli": "^4.1.0"
      }
    }

webpack.config.js

const {resolve} = require('path');
const {HtmlWebpackPlugin} = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    entry: './src/index.js',
    output: {
        filename: 'built.js',
        path: resolve(__dirname, 'build')
    },
 
    plugins: [
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({template: './src/webpack.html'})
    ],
    mode: 'development'
};

My Error:

[webpack-cli] TypeError: HtmlWebpackPlugin is not a constructor

I am curious about why the error message "HtmlWebpackPlugin is not a constructor!" WHY?

Shouldn't it be like this?

const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
