The intent behind these mentions was to "promote the use of Copilot" and "showcase Copilot usage scenarios in a variety of different ways".
These are quotes from resolved comments in the review to a similar but slightly earlier PR[1], from the same author, to the one that introduced the specific mention referred to in the issue[2].
And that's why these suggestions to use Copilot probably don't belong in the docs: their intent was to promote a product.
(To be fair, in the first comment quoted above the reviewer asks that the Copilot section be moved to the end of the document, prioritizing teaching the user about the actual feature the article was about).
One additional problem, already pointed out by others, is that Copilot seems to be the only AI tool showcased in the docs. Besides suggesting the intent of these suggestions is purely promotional, this reflects poorly on an organization that should be independent from Microsoft.
