The question is why it's installed by default?

Also why would the admin in Raspberry Pi forum remove threads related above issue.

It's suspicious.

Because Raspbian is made for mainly educational purposes, and VS Code is the most user-friendly text editor, so they are shipping it. The lite image uses the same patches/base the full educational image uses, so the repo was also installed there.

If you plan to run it as a server, you should probably pick another distro or live with that fact.

The forum threads were closed because they were duplicates.
