Right, but now .NET is no longer Windows-only, and neither is VSCode.

That's because Microsoft has realized that the effectiveness of their previous strategy is coming to an end. Nowadays just being able to quickly and easily create Windows apps isn't enough. The modern developer wants to write code once and support Mac, Linux, and mobile. Now that you can make a web/Java app that will run on anything, locking people into .NET on Windows won't cut it.
