This is currently by design - the idea is that CLI adds additional files in order to build the plugin. Users may want to check the exact files used for building the plugin. These files can be used to build the plugin again or fix failing build.

I'm closing this issue, but in case you think these directories are not needed, feel free to reopen it.
