My guess is they're vastly underestimating the time and effort that would take, however, I understand the motivation somewhat, as there's no guarantee that whatever alternative to VSCode you settle on won't also eventually go all-in on AI. For example, KDevelop is planning on heavy AI integration soon.

Why would you look to make your own code editor?
There are so many already and for example NeoVim is great and would allow you to make modifications as you please.
I’m not trying to disprove your argument, rather I’m interested in your motivations
