Slow "Downloading VS Code Server" when starting Coder VS Code Desktop for the first time

Hey everyone! We are using Coder mainly with the desktop option and when an user creates a workspace and open it for the first time in the VS Code Desktop, it starts downloading vs code server, which as far as I understood is for the remote ssh extension.

However this download takes an average of 3-5 min to complete and the workspace opens. I'm not sure if I got it right, but we already have this extension installed by default, is there a way to skip this step? After this first usage, subsequent starts of vs code desktop for the same workspace goes faster.
