Not defending the default behavior of zed, but it is possible to disable this. Setting `"lsp.<server>.binary.path": <some-path>` will stop zed from trying to install that server.

On my machines, the "languages"/"node" directories for zed are empty and owned by root and the lsp servers are provided by nix. But you could also pin known good versions with npm.

As far as I know Vscode has no equivalent way to do this.
