It's also worth noting that this behavior evolved very slowly. It took Excel decades to learn how to best handle the defaults. Excel started with modals similar to VS Code's "Do you want to allow macros? This may be dangerous", found too many users self-trained on "Allow" as the only button that needed to be pressed and eventually built the current solution.

If VS Code is still on the same learning curve, hopefully it speeds up a bit.
