Toward a “modern” Emacs

Sure, but it’s not like the choice is between Emacs and VS Code alone. I for one find IntelliJ to be far superior to VS Code for the languages I use. Especially since search and autocomplete actually work, which it doesn’t do in VS Code.

VSCode has the power of free beer, and most major plugins are done by Microsoft, Red-Hat, Google and friends, while most InteliJ goodies are available online on the commercial license.

I wonder how many devs are motivated by that. All of the ones I know are already using OSX, so standing on principle for just the IDE would be incoherent.

OS X is about 10% of the world desktop market.

Hardly seen outside first world countries, and even on Europe it isn't easily spot outside the rich EU countries.

I did a couple of consulting gigs where the only iMac available for the Dev teams was used in turns for iOS deployments, for applications done in cross platform frameworks, where 90% of development time was spent in Ubuntu and Windows based computers.
