Because the true name of the feature is VisualSourceSafe actions. It's all over the code of the runner if you take a second to look, and the runner, like the rest of the feature, is of typical early 2000s Microsoft quality, which is to say, none at all.
Yep, once you start looking into the inner workings, you realize it's just a rebranded Azure Pipelines with a ton of technical debt attached.
GitHub Actions, the feature that was years in the making, and launched in August 2018. Which Microsoft then acquired 2 months later.
