No -- when I ssh somewhere I am NOT giving them (the server) permission to run code on MY computer. When I vscode-remote somewhere then I AM giving them (the server) to run code on MY computer. You don't expect visiting a website to give the website permission to edit your local files, and so similarly some people might expect that if they are remote-editing with vscode they are not giving the remote-server permission to edit their local files either. Best to be aware!
