… because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components
official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they’re not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)
vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it’s own branding.

yes, but vscode’s source code is still released under an open-source license. (that’s what vscodium and code-oss are built from)
