The part of hindering access to the market place and DRMing some extensions is the dishonest part.

Their marketplace, not the marketplace. Their extensions. Microsoft's extensions for Microsoft's editor shared in Microsoft's marketplace. And if it's dishonest, where did they say otherwise?

Microsoft's marketplace but definitely not all extensions are theirs.

What is the reason that Codium can't access the extensions? That's like Edge wouldn't be allowed to load extensions from the Chrome store.
