It's easy to wave a magic wand and have one developer do better than a corporation of tens of thousands. There is a reason I don't use Microsoft products: I can't do it myself and do won't do it for me.
There is no editor that sandboxes extensions as described.

Emacs, vim/nvim, intellij, etc… pretty much all vulnerable to such an attack

Reality is most devs wouldn’t be satisfied with the limitations proper sandboxing would create.

Then you lose access to the VSCode marketplace which kind of defeats the purpose.
