Microsoft can easily fork open-source communities by changing towards proprietary defaults ("strategically divide the market") as Microsoft has already done twice so far. The way Microsoft forks open-source communities is by releasing Visual Studio Code extension updates that make their proprietary offering the default once they have managed to capture enough adoption...
Even if you disregard all of the terminal based editors (micro, Kakoune, neovim, Helix) there's Kate which is already awesome and constantly getting great updates. There are also many promising projects like Lapce and CudaText (but they are admittedly not great yet).
rope
pylsp-rope
Rope provides advanced Python refactoring capabilities, and pylsp-rope exposes some of those functionalities as an LSP that can be used in any editors that supports the protocol. pylsp-rope is a plugin for python-lsp-server which provides similar functionalities to pylance, but is developed as a fully open source project. We are always welcoming users and contributors for both projects; and also that python-lsp-server is a great open source Python tooling project with a great community surrounding it.
Yes, it is harder to achieve a good UI for complex things because it is more limited (yeah, it is a terminal). But Neovim, for example, has made many advances in that regard and its API is getting better and better with virtual texts, pop up menus, etc. Things like this allow very cool UIs for complex things like debuggers: https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui or unit tests integrated in the editor: https://github.com/nvim-neotest/neotest

For those of you that want compiled vscode without telemetry, there is vscodium. I highly recommend it as standard vscode replacement.

He didn't say LSP is proprietary, he was talking about a specific language server, that the article was talking about as well. Microsoft made a new language server for python, decided to keep it completely closed source, then made the default python extension for vscode be the new closed source language server. They've published their plans for doing that with c# too.
And Pyright is open source
You can host a plugin gallery yourself, and people do. Services are not software. Getting them confused is absurd.
