"Choose the type of app you're building" empty when installed locally

**Describe the bug**
In order to ensure that all builders (developers and CI/CD environments) use the same version of build toolchains, a common pattern is to include build/test requirements under `devDependencies` in the project's `package.json` rather than relying on a global installation of the tool and execute it via e.g. `$(npm bin)/amplify`. Attempting to do this with the amplify CLI results in the init prompt `Choose the type of app you're building` having no options and crashing.

**Amplify CLI Version**
`$(npm bin)/amplify -v` gives `4.18.0`

**To Reproduce**
In an empty folder, `npm install --save-dev @aws-amplify/cli && $(npm bin)/amplify init`. Fill out the prompts until you get to `Choose the type of app you're building` - no entries are listed, and attempting to accept the default causes a `Cannot read property 'value' of undefined` error.

**Expected behavior**
The same behavior as a globally-installed version (in my case, presenting the options `android`, `ios`, and `javascript`).

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**

**Additional context**
after running `rm -r * && npm install --save-dev @aws-amplify/cli`, my `package-lock.json` is as attached (uploaded as txt because github doesn't allow attaching json files to issues):
