Describe the bug / error

The note on this developer documentation is incorrect.

"If this is omitted or empty, the task creates a single Feature for every component (a 1:1 mapping)."

The "or empty" has been found to not be accurate, based on SPFx 1.21 tooling. It should read instead:

"If this is omitted, the task creates a single Feature for every component (a 1:1 mapping)."

https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/blob/main/docs/spfx/web-parts/basics/notes-on-solution-packaging.md

Steps to reproduce

1. Scaffold a new SPFx 1.21 web part. (Alternatively, leverage an older upgraded project before adding features was common/default for web part packages that had no requirements to deploy anything else such as site columns, content types, etc)
2. Remove the feature, but leave the package-solution.json to have an empty features:[] node.
3. Build, Bundle, Package the solution.
4. Deploy to appcatalog (site or tenant), add the app.

Expected behavior

Web Parts available to add to pages.

Actual
No webparts from sppkg available.
