In my experience it's usually very prominently disclosed. In case of VSCode it's literally the 2nd section in their License Agreement, not to mention help pages, highly visible settings etc.

It's probably the suits that don't want it actionably disclosed rather than developers.

And we know MS has been caught several times disregarding consent and engaging in other dark patterns.
