Idk, I can imagine a specific weird usecase. I use IntelliJ. My coworkers don't. They don't want my .idea folder in git. (You're probably thinking "ok, yep, gitignore!" And you're right except my boss ideologically does not want any *hint* of what IDE you use in the repo. Including in the gitignore. So each person putting .vscode or .idea in their local config's ignore actually makes sense. (Relative to the nonsensical parent requirement... of course).
