But Google is the problem.

Both are problems - Microsoft monopolizes development experience, Google monopolizes other areas like private info (they know what you search for, what videos you watch, what restaurants you go to, probably even where you fly)
* VSCode doesn't spy on me (metrics can be disabled)

* Codespaces don't spy on me (much)

* Typescript doesn't spy on me

* NPM doesn't spy on me

* Github doesn't spy on me

* Azure doesn't spy on me

Google does. It's literally their main revenue stream.
