Because people want a fast out of the box editing experience. Not clicking yes for every language server.
But what they should have is a CDN with their own extensions and verified binaries. This way they can ship new versions of extensions without bumping their editor version.

How many language servers are we talking about here for the average dev? Three?
Yes, but you would have it for each time you opened a new workspace.
The only point of this would be if you didn't want to download the language server for untrusted code.
I think what people really want is workspace location permissions...
Wait, what. Why should you keep downloading Node per workspace? If you have one installed already?

That strikes me as more of a UX problem. Doing a bunch of sketchy things behind the user's back is absolutely not a solution though.
The versions should generally match what's specified in the user's package.json. It doesn't make much sense then to have a separate registry.
