JHipster: Why node_modules and other front-end files got generated for --skip-client flag?

I created a new JHipster project with the following command:

jhipster --skip-client

Since, I skipped client generation via --skip-client, why the newly created project contains the following files and folders which I think are related to frontend and not related to backend anywhere:

From this link, it seems like it is actually a feature and not a bug.

The purpose of installing a local copy of generator-jhipster is that if you upgrade your global version, the local version will still match what your project uses. This protects you from using a newer entity generator on an older project. You can skip the installation of the local generator-jhipster by using --skip-install (note that your project will then always use the global generator-jhipster)

The .yo-rc.json file has the answers to your prompt and other details about your project that help with the other subgenerators such as entity or import-jdl. This file is important to keep.
