### Describe the bug
I just installed the cli with: `npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli` from VSCode terminal.
It was not working and I also tried to downgrade from 8.0.2 to 8.0.0: `npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli@8.0.0`
With both times it would throw the same error when running any amplify command:
> internal/modules/package_json_reader.js:4
const internalModuleReadJSON = function (f) { return require('fs').internalModuleReadJSON(f); };
> ^

When I run `amplify` from the Mac terminal it works. It's weird because `sam` and `aws` work just fine from both terminals.
### Expected behavior
to work
### Reproduction steps
1. npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli@8.0.0
2. amplify configure

Research direction
Start by reproducing `npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli@8.0.0` followed by `amplify configure` in the VSCode terminal and compare it with the Mac terminal, where it works. Inspect the Node.js runtime and preload environment used by each terminal; done means Amplify commands run successfully in VSCode without the `internalModuleReadJSON` error.
