Isn't that the same what MS does with VS Code?

Open Source so that VS Codium exists but Codium can't access MS's extension store.

VS Code is a product of Microsoft Corp, not a nonorofit foundation. Wordpress.org is a nonprofit foundation, and as a nonprofit, there are rules they have to follow that for profit organizations don't have to.

Sure, but one of those rules is not "you must allow other entities to use your resources for free".

Sure, but see this comment I made in another thread- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41665361

If MS Does it, does it make it right ?

Nobody is asserting this.
