You mean like closed sourcing previously open source VS Code extensions? They recently announced that they are closed sourcing the C# VS Code extension: "Once the “LSP Tools Host” is complete, this will become the default experience for the C# for VS Code extension. Existing users will be able to choose between the open-source OmniSharp powered system that exists today, or the new “'LSP Tools Host” which will provide access to additional experiences. The “LSP Tools Host” will not be open-sourced, but we plan to communicate with the community along the way to help guide our future plans."[1] The same thing was done with PyLance which was "extended" from PyRight.[2] Why would they do this? Because VS Code can't get good enough to compete with Visual Studio. If it did, they would lose revenue by not selling enough copies of Visual Studio. It's the same Microsoft, they've just had to adapt since they lost a lot of the power they had in the past.
