That's not counter intuitive at all: Desktop VS Code is a web app running in chromium.

To be clear, the UI is a web app. But that is serviced by out-of-proc servers written in many different languages (e.g. language servers are usually written in the same language that they service).

In some sense, that's exactly the same as normal web-browsing:

Parts of gmail run in the browser, the rest runs on servers written in many different languages at Google.
