Thanks for specifying this and confirming my observations. My experience has been that Emacs users are much more likely than users of other text editors to be researchers and other avid note-takers who do care about tools like Org mode. For example, I have a personal knowledge base that includes several thousand Org files containing my notes.
It's not a coincidence that the creator of Org mode is an astronomy professor[1]; whereas, the majority of the most popular VS Code extensions[2] that aren't from Microsoft seem to have been created by web developers whose portfolios include no research or non-web code repos.
My point isn't to disparage the users of VS Code, but to point out that a tool like Org mode is unlikely to be developed for editors like VS Code or appreciated by the users of such editors.
When TextMate was the flavor of the month editor that its users (web developers?) claimed was the best editor ever, I waited for an "Org mode for TextMate". It never happened.
Afterwards, when Sublime Text was the flavor of the month that its users (web developers?) claimed was the best editor ever, I waited for an "Org mode for Sublime Text". It never happened.
Now that VS Code is the flavor of month, I'm waiting for an "Org mode for VS Code". But all I've seen is an unmaintained extension[3] that provides roughly 1-2% of the features of Org mode[4].
