Why isn't there a decently done code editor with VSCode level features but none of the spyware garbage?

Any recommendations?

This seems like an easy win for a software project

Because no other company was willing to spend enough money to reach critical mass other than Microsoft. VSCode became the dominant share of practically every language that it supported within 12-18 months of introduction.

This then allowed things like the Language Server Protocol which only exists because Microsoft reached critical mass and could cram it down everybody's throat.

well, to be fair, LSP is good gift.

Except that the LSP is now trapped in amber and cannot be evolved because it requires the agreement of Microsoft to change.
