Great example of letting some bullshit slide, other people are going to to want their share.
It's like a strike. Is a coal miner's strike "fair" to consumers who are dealt power outages or price hikes? No, but the whole point is to generate inconvenience.
I sympathize with the VSCode team the same way I sympathize with front-line customer support at an airline with striking baggage handlers. But that doesn't make the strike less meritable.
In this way I think the fake reports are like any other market action used to demonstrate dismay with a certain behavior, like strikes, protests or boycotts.
