Cannot forward command with --dev option on Composer package installation

[llaville]

Hello,

Today, while I'm in way to publish a new version (9.5.5) of https://github.com/overtrue/phplint, I wanted to check a full global installation with these commands

composer global require --dev bamarni/composer-bin-plugin
composer global require overtrue/phplint ^9.5 --dev -vvv

I realized that only require package list are installed, and not require-dev package list.
And of course none of packages declared into the vendor-bin directory.

Is there a pre-requisite to do so, or is it a bug ?
