Description

Describe the issue

when I open webtools in C# dev kit, it is not an SDK style and I expect that C# dev kit wont work. the message says it wont work in the corner

but then I go to workspace requirements, and it says things.

I think that workspace requirements should be disabled or say something about how non-style projects aren't supported this is a confusing experience.

if this were an SDK-style project then the workspace requirements would be met because the global json is satisifed, but there is an issue here.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening the Webtools repo in C# Dev Kit and then opening the C# workspace requirements view. Start by tracing the workspace requirements view and its handling of non-SDK-style projects; done means it clearly indicates that the project type is unsupported instead of reporting only the global.json requirement.
