No- the core editor tech, Monaco, is its own thing (and is one of the most difficult and valuable parts of the project)

Yes, that is sort of a string attached, but I’m not sure it has any real cost. Has anyone ever been harmed or even inconvenienced by VS Code telemetry? I usually turn it off, but it doesn’t actually make any difference to me. Seems like it’s just politics.
