MSW does not intercept all requests

Describe the bug

When running outside of browser mode, Vitest returns different objects from import * as https from 'node:https' and require('node:https'). MSW expects these to be the same object, and only patches one of them.

This issue does not occur when running outside of Vitest, in Nodejs directly.
