I completely disagree and feel MS would never do it. Not a MS Employee, but they have moved on from such battles.

They should have restricted the Marketplace several years ago, however, they are doing it now.

With C++, they are part of MFC's, they are the legal owners, not like Google vs Oracle in case of Java.

Lastly, with AI Code IDEs I think yes, there is a case, the need for IDE might be very less. Like a steering on a self driving car.

Why should they have restricted the marketplace? It's really annoying imo that they lock vs codium out of the more useful plugins like the SSH remote one. However luckily most only take a setting or two to enable anyway.

ISO C++ has nothing to do with MFC.
