I have a question about my Stack Overflow post: [What optimisations have Microsoft done to VS Code/Electron?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71221449/what-optimisations-have-microsoft-done-to-vs-code-electron)

My post got voted down, closed, and deleted without anyone commenting to explain why they thought it was "opinion-based".

I don't see why it would lead to "opinions rather than facts and citations". Even before the edit, I didn't see much of a "what's your opinion on this" to it.

Can someone help me understand what about my post would incite opinions?
