this all seems very familiar (IE, media players, and now Edge/WSL/VSCode)

VSCode doesn't support some Microsoft extensions if you don't use the official builds (which are proprietary, contain telemetry and nagware) and doesn't have the official extension store. Take the software that's open and run. They haven't changed. They WILL try to fuck you over. The people running to Gitlab were overreacting when they did, but may eventually be proven right too. Microsoft has shown it hasn't really abandoned its tendency to back-stab its users and itself.
