Maybe I'm misreading your comment, but Richard Harris did not create esbuild. Evan Wallace, co-founder of Figma, is the person behind it.

You are misreading. He's saying that rollup[1] was the only other option for bundling static assets besides webpack until esbuild was created. Rollup was created by Rich.

That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying!
You did misread.
> Until esbuild came along, Rollup was the only sane JS bundler
Rich Harris did create Rollup
Rich created rollup :)
