Notepad++ was gaining some traction so Microsoft figured they nip that in the bud with a half-hearted attempt?

Microsoft's competitor to Notepad++ is VS Code.

Notepad++ is a text editor while VS Code is an IDE. They are intended for different use cases.

No, both are source code editors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-code_editor#Notable_examples

Visual Studio is the full IDE, VS Code isn't. Visual Studio and VS Code are completely different products, even though both carry Visual Studio branding.

What would be missing from VS Code or VS Codium that an IDE needs?

I'm an ex Visual Studio user, now writing all my code in VS Codium. I organize my project tree in VS Codium, I build from it and, like a Visual Studio user, I press F5 to debug, set breakpoints and inspect variables.

And that's just the default install using the vanilla C/C++ extension it ships with, not some complicated setup that takes any time to get working.
