Probably not. Please suggest to extension authors to dual-publish their extensions to OpenVSX and VSMarketplace. So far all authors I engaged with were happy do to so (except for Microsoft of course, who are the only benefactor of this wallet garden situation).
I find that many of the extensions I use do dual publish. I also dual publish my own extension for people because walled gardens are not cool.
I also have an extension that I dual publish. I was surprised to see it’s getting as many downloads on OpenVSX as on the VSCode marketplace. I’m just glad it’s useful to more people for marginally no cost.
I think Cursor just mirrors the VSCode marketplace on their own servers. They used to have an ugly work around for installing extensions, but now it just works and I see links to https://marketplace.cursorapi.com/ inside of Cursor's extension browser.
Any idea how they got the data? I would imagine that just downloading all the data is also against the ToS.

It is.
I use both vsc and cursor, cursor imported automatically all my vsc extensions and settings and theme and everything.
Fortunately most ToS are not legally enforceable, but only amount to a public statement of "we are threatening to block your IP if you do this"
