Nah, MS has always given away their suites of software for free(Visual Studio, etc) to students and the like. VSCode is probably the same with a smooth integration for Azure, .net and TypeScript.

You can also turn off the data collection.

The business justification there is easy to see: get them hooked on your products when they're young, so they'll ask for the same when they start working.

Yeah, and?

If I'm getting "hooked" on a product because it's good at what it does what exactly is wrong with that?
