Of course, that's against the Microsoft licensing agreement. The VS Extension marketplace is only licensed for use with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (as are all of the good Microsoft extensions: Pylance, the Remote Pack, Codespaces, etc).

The top of the log file for the remote extension always says this:

"

*

* Visual Studio Code Server

*

* Reminder: You may only use this software with Visual Studio family products,

* as described in the license https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/license
