I agree with you.
JetBrains IDEs are more thorough, kind of Apple like vertical integration while VS Code is more like Windows: hack everything together.
From a experimental standpoint I highly prefer VS Code, since writing add-ons for JetBrain was too complicated for me in an affordable time. VS Code shines here.
I think that this flexibility really is a different beast. For example, workflow optimization is becoming a thing in software development. In my department, I turned VS Code into a somewhat low-code editor for Web development. This could not have been achieved using JetBrains.
