VS Code binaries are not open source, so M$ can add telemetry, star rating popup and other shit.

Yes, but there are a ton of awesome IDEs built on top of the base Visual Studio Code Open Source project, you don't have to use the Microsoft one.

Indeed but saying VS Code is open source is quite misleading.
