launch.json shows unintended warnings for "type": "pwa-chrome"

[noontz]

Type: Bug

VS Code

Add this configuration to a projects launch.json in .vscode folder

{ "name": "DEBUG-DEV", "request": "launch", "type": "pwa-chrome", "url": "https://localhost:9001/", "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}", "sourceMaps": true }

This configuration results in a yellow warning line beneath "type": "pwa-chrome". The error description is: "Please use type chrome instead"

Others experience the same : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75352553/vscode-use-chrome-instead-of-pwa-chrome

Even stranger is the fact that built in "intellisense" suggests "pwa-chrome" as an option for "type"?

The pwa-chrome type is showing an internal implementation detail, although either one should work

"is showing an internal implementation detail" That's one of the quickest "fixes" I've ever seen for a bug? C'mon.. VS code is telling you to switch to a less optimal option? completed? Seriously?
