I’m not quite sure why you’re being downvoted for this. I don’t use VS Code at all, but they have done a good job of getting VS Code to be extremely used and have made the predictable steps to prevent the open source versions from being equivalent/compatible, mostly by restricting the extensions.
The issue is that they already monopolized code editors and this is the vendor lock in move to keep people there.
