But ... they literally did that here? I don't think it's malicious in this case. In fact I think they're giving away genuinely useful tools here with no obvious downsides to their use.

I think it's not about the extensions but the market place.

You can't use the MS extensions with VS Codium, you are forced to use VS Code.
