Okay, it may sound like a personal issue, but I disagree with the privacy practices in developer tools. And I'm not talking about VSCode issue, but about other more elemental development tools. For example, the privacy policy of npmjs.com, pkg.go.dev (Google's privacy policy lol), hub.docker.com, and these public registries for developers, have some questionable privacy practices as well.

I wanna know your opinions about.

Well I didn't accept it and will purchase another headset.

For my work I use different accounts. But I know some developers wouldn't accept it for their work either. They only use foss. But ya you need enough leverage and the right market.
