devcontainer and asRoot?

[thediveo]

The vscode-go Wiki says about asRoot for a launch request:

It requires integrated or external console modes and is ignored in remote debugging. [emphasis mine]

My limited understand is that operating a devcontainer also falls into the "remote" category, correct? The devcontainer I'm using runs terminals as the non-root vscode user, but also has sudo available to elevate into root where necessary. As far as I can confirm in my tests, asRoot is ignored when using a devcontainer.

Is there anything I'm missing in that a devcontainer could actually support isRoot?

Would it make sense to open an issue?
