I disagree,I think these are helping people see neovim as a an alternative, drop-in replacement for VSCode or other editors with the added benefit of being vim.

I also think once people start using these regularly, they tend to learn more about neovim and vim universe how it can be customised to their needs, this acts as a starting point for many. And for most it becomes easy to just rely on the maintainers to add new additions via plugins and/or update as and when required without the need to update/break/debug on their own.
