Because this is marketing, focusing on the things relevant to their product and the audience they want this page to cater to.

(My "this" in the OP should be macro expanded to something like: "it's this sort of marketing that pollutes the 'future of coding' name, making it inappropriate for our community")

Wrong answers only: because VSC is the only editor left alive, similar to how Chrome is the only browser left alive.
