I don't make the rules, if in USA courts have decided that that such contractual prohibitions override the copyright law companies will use them. Even if there is virtually no risk for them, they will protect themselves because they can and the law gives them the right to override user's rights. At least VS Code is open source and everybody can compile it and inspect it, except the proprietary bits from MS. Which sounds a lot better than old MS. Anyway, nobody complains that they can't reverse engineer AWS. Cloud computing is much more dangerous for users' right, and yet...
