@Kit-Law-42 Thanks for pointing out the inconsistencies.

.net deprecated SharedTokenCacheCredential from DefaultAzureCredential because they added VisualStudioCredential to take care of the scenario that users want to use the login information from VS to authenticate.

While for Python, we still rely on SharedTokenCacheCredential for such scenario. And this is the reason we keep it in the DefaultAzureCredential.

Thank you.
