Ditto. You said it better than I could.

I think, also, because it's not built around a keyboard model, such as helix, emacs, vi(m), kakoune, et al. are. I find, when writing text, mousing in whatever hardware form is anti-ergonomic. Editors built around keyboards as an editing first-principle are better at it. VS Code starts at a disadvantage, for me, because it's designed around needing a pointing device for many things.
