I still don't understand why that's an issue. VSCode is a proprietary product. There are tons of FOSS alternatives if it doesn't work for someone or the telemetry is a problem.
My criticism would only be that the telemetry is not obvious enough for a casual downloader. I don't use VSCode but I'm sure a lot of people do without knowing about it.
