[Bug]: 1.44.0 automatically closes the browser on test end (even with reuseBrower:true)

[GuillaumeRoche]

Version

1.44.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Use playwright 1.44.0
2. Create any test
3. Set "playwright.reuseBrowser": true,
4. Run it within VSC using the playwright extension
5. Wait for the end, the browser should remain open (works on 1.43.1, not on 1.44.0)

Expected behavior

The browser (chromium) should remain open once the test ends

Actual behavior

The browser (chromium) closes itself when the test end

Additional context

I've tried to add some page.pause() or tiemouts to keep the browser alive as long as possible but this doesn't seem to have any impact.

I did have
video: 'retain-on-failure',
This appears to be a duplicate as removing the video on local env did "fix"
