Uhm, I was running VSCode on FreeBSD[1]. It took a while to make it happen, but it did happen. It still sucks though and porting those apps to FreeBSD isn't easy. However, I recognize that anyone, myself included, who runs FreeBSD on desktop/laptop is ready for such struggles. We're a tiny minority within a minority. I'm madder about google not allowing DartVM to be ported to FreeBSD because they "want to keep repo free of platform-specific code" while have code dedicated to Fuchsia, Chrome OS and Android-specific code in there.

Maybe it doesn't need the sandboxing syscalls? I've tried and failed to run slack and spotify. I've never tried VSCode because emacs is my IDE :)

  It's not running a Linux version of Chrome. FreeBSD version of just isn't sandboxed. In fact, I don't think there is a single modern browser on FreeBSD that is sandboxed, even though Capsicum been around for more than a decade.
