Why doesn't babel-polyfill transpile forEach for NodeList?

Question

JavaScript

Throws an error in IE when I try to use forEach on a NodeList or just the closest method. In theory, the polyfill should treat this out of the box, perhaps it's a wrong connection?

In the webpack config is:

module.exports = {
    mode: 'development',
    entry: ['@babel/polyfill',  './src/App.js'],
    output: {
        filename: 'bundle.js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
    },
   ...
}

PS With this configuration, Object.assign works. Do I need to install additional polyfills besides babel-polyfill? Shouldn't the first one patch holes like this?
