On the technical side, VS Code can do the same, and does it to some degree. I mean, it's a Web-browser in disguise, it can show anything you want. But overall there is indeed not much awareness for this and not many features and plugins supporting this. It simply has more order and control on this level.
But I guess it's also just one plugin away on changing this.
