I don’t really get the issue, I didn’t even know Microsoft published another AI suggestion extension, definitely cool that it used a local model but it does make sense for them to just roll it into Copilot.

IntelliCode was first released in 2018, well before the current AI landscape. The issue here is taking a free, functioning capability and arbitrarily disabling it in favour of a paid product. Microsoft is currently "updating" its internal adoption goals for the AI features it keeps shoving down consumers throats, but I'm sure that pumping the numbers by removing features is surely just coincidental and not desperate at all.
