  Microsoft is a very big company and I have absolutely no doubt that the Windows team and the VSCode team hardly ever—if at all—talk. I also question how 'evil' policies like this could propagate across company divisions to the point where they are actually implemented in code—in today's age where engineers have a lot of agency over what they do and often speak up—without someone leaking said policy. This is just a conspiracy theory.

    Or perhaps a result of tying team bonuses and promotions to "increased coverage", whatever that means for each product. Not necessarily malicious - just myopic.
