VS Code is a fairly complex project used by millions (?) of people. I haven't worked on a project of this scale yet, but I know that getting error reports is painful because there are high chances that your product just dies on another machine and nobody tells you about it. For error monitoring, I see clear value in software "calling home".

I do understand people not liking this for privacy reasons, though. Maybe VS Codium is something for you if you like using VS Code but would like to have it without telemetry and tracking.
