Vs code supports language server protocol [1] and also includes support for syntax highlighting [2]
If I recall correctly, vim supports syntax highlighting through less-than-elegant regex searches.

Is copying .vimrc whenever logging in for the first time too much work?
Qt?
Do hypothetical 1000% performance gains matter if perceived performance is already within acceptable limits?
Wasting time gold plating solutions with no meaningful tradeoff is a negative trait, not a positive one.
You stated no point.
You're trying to ignore the fact that businesse relationships require all parts to participate voluntarily.
If one part tries to abuse the terms of those services then service providers are free to not continue with the business arrangement.
Not continuing a business arrangement is not censorship.
Are we supposed to feign ignorance and claim terms of service don't exist anymore?
No ISP is compelled to provide services to the likes of kiwi farms. If there are no laws, lobby to make them.
You have no right to force others to cater to your personal whims, specially if they are objectionable.
That makes no sense. A paper supplier is not censoring anyone if they can't or won't provide printing paper.
You're somehow conflating not actively supporting a cause with censoring someone. It's ok if you feel yo have something to say to the world, but that does not give you the right to coerce everyone around you to support your personal project.
That was never the argument.
The argument is that private companies have the right to provide their services in their terms, and if your intended use violates those terms then you also have the right to pick a services that tolerates you and your intended use. Aka gay wedding cakes.
That really depends on what your expectations and goals are. You mention Jest but as it's a test dependency then security is not a major concern, and thus it's ok to just vend the source code into your project trees.
I still recall last year's AWS LSE when AWS went down globally, due to us-east-1
https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/aws-us-east-1-out...
AWS's shared responsibility model is quite clear in stating that end users are ultimately the ones responsible for security and compliance. So your points are moot.
"Flexibility" in this case is so vague that it's meaningless. I mean, is there anything more flexible than owning the entire infrastructure and software stack you chose all by yourself?
Could you please show a single example you feel demonstrates this thing you describe as "trust me bro, im a scientist" stance?
I feel that your comment is a red herring. Using someone else's computer does not mean taking advantage of computing power alone, and nothing more. In fact, the point of paying someone else to use their system was never computing power, specially nowadays.
I'm not sure your point stands any scrutiny. Titles such as principal engineer or staff+ levels are not granted by seniority or at an anniversary. They are granted if an individual meets all the technical and organizational requirements, as well as career accomplishments, that make a case for a promotion. You don't get that just by sitting at your desk.
Also, principal engineers at Amazon, a company renowned for the average SDE career spanning only around 2-3 years, tend to have been in the company for over a decade and comprise a very small fraction of the whole engineering community.
I'm sure you understand that iOS's problem is not technical but business constrains.

Not quite. You can spread portable toilets for pennies, or even a shipping container with toilets, but that will make any city look terrible.
If you care about making things nice then it becomes necessary to invest resources making things nice which you would otherwise not have to spend if you just drop a portable toilet off the back of a pickup truck.
I don't agree. What we did see is ignorance and completely absurd conspiracy theories taking the center stage while experts were being sidelined or even completely removed from the discussion.
What leads you to believe that paying a premium to someone else to use their computers is a solution that fits each and every single case?
Even AWS is clear in how their present their offering as something that allows projects to grow and scale quickly while avoiding upfront costs buying and hosting their own hardware.
We should take a step back and think about Russia's problem.
Not only did Russia's dictatorship made it illegal and a punishable offense to express any negative feeling regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they manipulate all their media with pro-Putin and pro-war propaganda.
Keep in mind that Russia's regime response to anti-mobilization protesta was to arrest protesters and force them to the war front.
No wonder a big chunk of Russians, when faced with any war-related question, they make it their point to promptly give a canned response on how they are apolitical. Self-preservation in a totalitarian state kicks in almost as a Darwinian response.
If you found yourself living in that sort of castrating society, what would you answer if state posters asked you what you thought of the ongoing war?
Not an oxymoron. It's your own service subscription which you use to store your own files, even if it's running on someone else's computer.
There are techniques to keep those large state machines manageable, such as structuring them with sub-state machines.
For desktop applications, Qt has been offering for ages support for state machines driving GUI states, including using SCXML to generate it's state machine code.
