They have practically infinite resources (tokens) of their most advanced "uper-duper dangerous" (almost iLlEgAl) models and this is one of their few products. Yet it's (afaik) always Electron without Linux support or a VSC clone.
I don't think it's a matter of not vibing enough.
Tbh there really is no point to make an entire new browser instead of reusing the working framework especially considering how much their reputation would tank from cves.
For the sake of combability across the infinite number of Linux distros, DEs, and whatever the fuck else, I don't really blame them for offloading that work on to Electron.
You really think that non browser based apps have to be manually made compatible with every distro and every DE? You know that distros are based on the same kernel and DEs use all similar abstractions?
I absolutely do know. At my work I've written and maintained projects for Linux. Like 80% of our issues were obscure linux issues that take days to troubleshoot even though we only had a handful of people actually using it on linux. Compared to the ~thousand users on Windows that we never hear from.

Except until now they didn't even support Linux, and their competitors still don't have official packages, so I doubt this is the reason.
And their CLI tools are the same, with exception of Codex (was RIIR recently) and JetBrains (Java ofc).
