I think parsing code and all the dependencies will require way more than 120MB of RAM so for VS Code the overhead doesn't matter that much. For smaller apps 120MB of ram is insane.

lite-xl with LSP gives you most of the features of vscode (they’re both lsp) at a tiny percentage of the system resources

In my experience LSP actually consumes quite a bit of resources. I'm using nvim with LSP and it's definitely not tiny percentage of what other IDEs are using. The editor is light, LSP is not.
