That’s because you’re using something those companies officially support. Is your argument everyone running Linux needs to be on a Debian-based or Fedora-based distribution?

Btw the official “vscode on Linux” instructions literally point to the community maintained AUR (same for nix).

The truth of the matter is the AUR is poorly maintained structurally, regardless of what companies officially support. Things like letting arbitrary people unilaterally take over orphaned packages is horrendously stupid.

Since you are using the official repos thats not an issue. The issue is when the package creator is some rando on the internet.
