Thanks, that makes more sense. According to an article on ars it doesn’t actually install anything so I don’t see their problem. All they have to do is comment out the line or just use a different distribution.
It was removed a month later anyway. Now VSCode can be installed through the main Raspbian repo.

I love the "overly paranoid" label, when you're talking about a repo than can alter "real system packages".
In what world is this OK?
That’s not the same as their claim that Microsoft software was pre installed and has access to your system which is what I’m arguing was incorrect.
