Allow us non-regular domain experts to easily post technical articles with pure Markdown, easy to make Medium one of the outlets I post to automatically along with Dev.to, and private blogs. Make it easier to have embedded code in the articles.

Assuming this is actually a useful and powerful addition to a programmer's quiver (which it looks like it will be if not already is). Then the tying it to Visual Studio is a variation of Microsoft's "Embrace and Extend" philosophy but for Programmers and open source in general.
It uses Open Source as its input but, as far as I can tell (and I would be pleasantly surprised if I was wrong), CoPilot itself is not Open Source.
It is also tied to Visual Studio, making Visual Studio, a Microsoft Product and on its way to monopoly position even more up the power law curve to monopoly status.
This would be much more interesting and less concerning if CoPilot was Open Source and designed to plug in to other Editors / IDEs like via lsp or something similar.

My first job was at the startup Micro-bit in the mid 1970's We were building Electron Beam Access Memory systems as a "Cache" memory between Core and Disk memory for mainframes.
It was an 18 bit wide memory so it had 18 CRT tubes and was leveraging electron microscope techniques to increase density. It had two steps of electron beam steering.
I remember the founder walking around talking about our main competitor "Bubble Memory" which also never got very far.
