LSP is also REST based, so your editor how has to talk to a web
*server* over a network. This could be central, and not just on your
machine. How would you know in an update that didn't happen?

I'm not interested in spending any time improving an LSP for Org which
would give non-free editors additional functionality with Org files.

That Microsoft is involved in the LSP specification seals the deal for
me.
