It's just a guess, but I think the main reason to run VSC in a browser is that they can later also let in run in a browser, without install. You will develop, store, and run your code on Azure, without any local installation.
(I don't know if that is a great vision, but it is a good rationale to use Web tech for IDE development)

I guess the interface wouldn't be as streamlined though.
