I still don't understand why people want their code dependent on the web.
I want to share my one true dev environment, but I want to be able to do this on my private premises setup without internet access.
I don't trust the internet and things like codespaces not to leak my company's code whether nominally in a private repository or not.
I don't trust using internet dependencies either.
Even something like pair programming etc with a shared view of a project is very appealing, but again, it needs to be appealing in a private context and not dependent on public access.
What might be OK for an open source project is unlikely to be true for a company's valuable IP, but people just seem to get carried away.
Secure first, managed dependencies first. Please.

So being able to quickly checkout a branch, make changes and take some load of my local machine seems very promising.” Making it easier for more devs to use and stick with Microsoft tech, is, I think, a core driver behind this initiative.
