I have also suspected that the big conflict here is between Visual Studio and Code. For sure, there is a free version of Visual Studio, but I would bet most for-profit businesses are paying for Visual Studio licenses. I could believe that there's a fear that Code will cannibalize Visual Studio sales. Is this fear valid? I'm not so sure, the developers that I've worked with that used Visual Studio were not interested in alternatives.
