Can't globally declare jquery in laravel mix. Why?

Question

webpack

I have simplified the code as much as possible.
1) As such, jquery is globally reachable. This is the original state.
app.js

import $ from "jquery";

window.$ = window.jQuery = $;

import { LessMore } from "./modules/less-more";

LessMore.init();

2) It was necessary to add chosen, and the code changed like this. I must say, chosen does not implement a modular approach, it expects that window.jQuery already exists by the time the code is executed, and therefore falls.
app.js

import $ from "jquery";

window.$ = window.jQuery = $;

import { LessMore } from "./modules/less-more";
import "chosen-js";

LessMore.init();

Apparently, laravel mix raises import to the top. How to achieve the desired result?
