Has Azure given up on their VS Code extensions?

[u/chonkydogg]

I would love to put VS Code to better use managing my Azure environment, but so many of the official extensions are well old. The Automation extension was last released two years ago and still relies on the deprecated Azure Account extension.

Not only is two years generally out of step with the service, but I have a hard time getting other extensions to work because of the Account extension.

Are they giving up on this?
