Not only is this not the source title, but this information nowhere in the linked article.
It's true, but the linked article only very indirectly suggests the possibility in that the most recent origin trial ends in Chrome 85.
The Chromium blog post on 86 does indicate this directly: https://blog.chromium.org/2020/09/chrome-86-improved-focus-h...

The main selling point would be if it works on my mobile. Vscode in its current form with plugins doesn't.
Why would you want to edit code on your mobile locally? I set up my phone to code recently and the first thing I did was set up my editor to connect to a remote server. Editing local files seems counter productive since you would think you would be doing most of your development not on a phone.
There are other one time use cases where I don't want to install a native app. Sqooshy app is one. Maybe I want to make data extraction easier for someone with directory of old clunky pdf files. They don't need to download an app for that. Also Linux is a bit broken with sandboxing right now compared to browser.

Every time Chrome adds a new API it is nearly always abused by ad networks and tracking companies to fingerprint users. If you're bored one day you should consider reverse engineering some ad network code. You'll be stunned at the insidious practices used.
That sounds like a lot of fun. Do you have a good file to start with? Does Google deliver a payload to fingerprint browsers on page they serve ads to?
It seems like I can replace an Electron app which only needs (a part) of File System access to browser.

All they have to do with this API now is just save their own fingerprints to somewhere the user can write to and they can find later. Evercookies that can survive browser reinstalls, and anything short of a meticulous search through everything in your home directory.

VS Code sucks and if I were to go the route of a different app there are lot better options out there for markdown editing. This feature has a lot of amazing potential, but some people like the Apple-model so much that they'd prefer only being told what they are allowed to do.
As a counter opinion I would posit that VS Code is probably the most well written piece of widely-used software written in the last decade. If you don't like the editing options, you've either not tried all the various plugins options available or you are too lazy or not interested enough to make your own.
You're entitled to your opinions, but I think your judgement is skewed.
Finally, we can have a local markdown editor with live preview. I just hope it can read files and folders in a particular directory as well, with permission of course.

VS Code is solid. I still prefer TextMate on a Mac, but on windows 10, VS Code is by far the best.
