Maybe it's because I'm a Windows user so I'm not your target audience Mac user, but my IDE already does all of this.

From my IDE , I can already interact with GitHub, JIRA, search stack-overflow, and pretty much anything else either natively or through the plugin system.

Fair point and I absolutely agree, VSCode has some great integrations with other services and in fact solves similar problem of context switching. However there are quite a lot of people that don't use VSCode, not to mention you're not always in your IDE when you need to perform these tasks. Having said that we want to explore some ideas where we integrate deeper with IDEs like VSCode and provide commands based on the context (e.g. provide documentation search based on the coding language, suggest filing a task for TODO comments, etc).

Same. Vscode has plugins for everything I need - slackoverflow, jira, github, stack, runner, and just about anything popular.
