> 4. Official C++ extension despite being completely useless consumes several gigabytes of space for "indexed" files (I wonder if it is so bad to not hurt sales of Visual Studio).

I chuckled at this, because the implementation is actually shared between the official C++ extension and Visual Studio. That extra space usage is likely the recent addition of automatic PCH generation (to VS Code, VS has done that for a long time).
