I got my hands on LSP and developed a language extension for a DSL. I found the overall idea great. he only thing that grind my gears is that currently, LSP focuses on some very common language support features and some Microsoft / VS Code inventions such as CodeLenses. The latter being a feature of the VS Code API, I am wondering whether the LSP will stay a platform agnostic protocol.

Of course it won't [stay a platform agnostic protocol]. They'll leverage it as soon as they think they can get away with it. MS owns Github. They have already rolled out AI auto-completion. This LSP will be used as another way to get between users (in this case the users are devs) and the machine and "extract rent". Ultimately, complexity itself is the enemy.
