Trust issues I would guess. Although it's open source it might contain code which you morally disapprove. Example: some people get the base code of VS Code(forgot the name)
then build it themselves which is different from what you get if you install their /MS version.

Would you mind elaborating? This is interesting. What code does VS Code have that is morally questionable?

You'll have to research for more details but in short, if you download "binaries" you'll get stuff that measures metrics and such and sends them back to MS, which I'm not sure is morally bad sice you click that agree. You have multiple posts of this one.
