Cannot change enablement of workspace disabled extension

[PindaPixel]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Irrelevant

• VS Code Version: 1.70
• OS Version: MacOS 12.5

For this example I used GitHub Pull Requests and Issues, which can only be enabled globally and not per workspace. However, I seem to be able to disable it for a workspace, after which I cannot re-enable it.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and enable an extension that can only be enabled or disabled globally (e.g., GitHub Pull Requests and Issues)
2. Disable the extension for the workspace.
3. Attempt to re-enable the extension for the workspace and notice the message: Cannot change enablement of GitHub Authentication extension in workspace because it contributes authentication providers
