how are you?

I have a React project with Webpack and Babel, and i'm trying to add Material UI (https://mui.com/) components, however, when i import a MUI component into my project i get the next error:

Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.

A workaround i found is to add the ".default" import, but i don't understand why i'm not able to just import it the traditional way.

Here's a test component code that produces the error:

const React = require("react");
const Button = require("@mui/material/Button");

const Navbar = () => {
  return <Button variant="contained">Contained</Button>;
};

module.exports = Navbar;

And here's my .babelrc and webpack.config code:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"]
}

const path = require("path");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");

module.exports = {
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, "/dist"),
    filename: "index.bundle.js",
  },
  devServer: {
    port: 8443,
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "babel-loader",
        },
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, "css-loader"],
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, "css-loader", "sass-loader"],
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ template: "./src/index.html" }),
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin(),
  ],
};

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I know it might be silly, but i should be able to just import these components the "normal" way as stated in the MUI documentation, instead, i have to import them using the ".default" way.

Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english.
