Is that because of the extension marketplace? Or the fact that the debugger has always been closed source?

VSDbg is closed source, technically licensed under visual studio, and only for MS products. Then they sprinkle some key check that prints a message telling you to use it in an official environment or whatever. It's dumb and needs resolved as part of their OSS efforts but seems more unlikely with each passing year.
