Right, but it’s essentially a fancy text editing environment. It should never have needed anything but barebones hardware.

No, it’s an IDE first. Not a text editor that’s extensible. It has a lot of features built-in, pre-enabled, and configured out of the box.
Yes, it can edit text. But it can do a lot more.
And it clearly violated the "only pay for what you use" philosophy. Like driving a bulldozer to get a soda.
Until you actually do any of those things, an IDE is a fancy text editor.
and a 747 is a nice bed until you fly it. Doesn't mean it's overkill and a plane.
