It's not a tiny detail. ‘VSCode proper’ includes integration with the extension marketplace that everyone expects to use, as well as exclusive access to proprietary, Microsoft-backed extensions which are widely used throughout the VSCode userbase for essential functionality.
Microsoft has arranged things so that actual open-source builds of VSCodium will always be lacking in comparison to their proprietary product.
