That's weird, AFAIk VSCodium only strips telemetry and changes branding. It shouldn't actively break addon.
Unless they check if they're running inside of the actual MS VSCode, which could explain why they aren't working
IIRC VSCode contains some proprietary, closed source binaries and VSCodium does not. So maybe the MS addons need those binaries
You can get e.g. pylance to work if you trick it:

So, at least in that instance, it's just Microsoft being a little petty.
