Many people doing AI/ML right now are not using Windows. By asking them to move to Visual Studio you are implicitly asking them to move to Windows. Only by doing that you are making it extremely difficult to adopt such technology.

It doesn't matter. MS has Linux VMs on Azure. Businesses love Azure, and MS is greatly investing in providing hardware for ML.
