If I run a service that hosts VS Code in the cloud, should I have to pay Microsoft for my users to be able to access the extension marketplace or receive update

  Visual Studio Code is the proprietary version (under the Microsoft Traditional License) of the open-source Code - OSS repository (licensed under MIT). Most of the code is open source, except for a small portion that includes elements such as code used for or providing access to services we run in our data centers (e.g., access to the Visual Studio Marketplace).

If your whole business depends on leeching off of someone else’s servers, you should probably be contributing to those servers in some way.
