I don't see what purpose this differentiation serves.

It's a problem for people that like the text editor enough in other aspects to still use it and it's a problem in that many people will not use it, due to the resource usage not weighing up with potential other advantages for them.

And I really would not think all too hard about the opinion that an open online community seems to have about a product of a bigger company.

It's gotta be beyond trivial for Microsoft's PR department to steer the mood in threads about their products by deploying vote bots and a few workers that write enthusiastic comments.
