Descripción
### Command
build
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
When using esbuild as the bundler for Angular projects, the support for web workers appears misleading in terms of type safety:
- In the previous webpack-based build setup, web workers had proper TypeScript type checking at build time.
- Currently, esbuild does not type-check web workers during build time. This is not documented or clearly communicated, leading to a false sense of correctness.
- Additionally, creating a project with a web worker generates a `tsconfig.worker.json`, which seems redundant because esbuild doesn't use it for type-checking. Also `builder` contains the `webWorkerTsConfig` option in the schema, as I understand it, this doesn't affect anything. This can confuse developers into thinking their web worker code is properly validated.
**Expected Behavior**
Either esbuild-based builder should perform type checking on web worker files, or there should be clear documentation and/or warnings that type-checking is not performed on workers.
**Current Behavior**
- No build-time type checking for worker code.
- Misleading tsconfig.worker.json is generated, giving false confidence in type safety.
### Minimal Reproduction
1. Generate a new Angular project with esbuild (Angular CLI 18+).
2. Add a web worker via ng generate web-worker.
3. Introduce a type error in the worker file.
4. Run ng build – no type error is reported.

Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Empieza reproduciendo el flujo de trabajo descrito de Angular CLI esbuild: genera un web worker, añade un error de tipos y ejecuta ng build. Inspecciona el tsconfig.worker.json generado y la opción webWorkerTsConfig del esquema del builder. Se considera hecho cuando el comportamiento de comprobación de tipos de los workers se haya corregido o documentado claramente, y se haya abordado la configuración engañosa.
