Found the actual links I was looking for:
Original reddit user who noticed it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/lbu0t1/microsoft_repo_installed_on_all_raspberry_pis/
Github issue tracker where it was admitted that they pushed the update
BEFORE it was added to their git repo:
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/issues/41
Looks like the rasberry pi people are trusting microsoft to sign and
distribute packages despite known issues with that company. There are
better ways to add VS to your distribution.

There's some chatter going around about a recent update that gives MS
more visibility of linux users, but I'm not finding any reporting from a
reputable source. Figured I'd check with someone who actually has that
hardware/software before getting angry.
