Just to note that LSP by itself, doesn't do any parsing.  It is just a
a protocol for editors and "language servers" to exchange information
about source in a standard fashion.  For all we know, the LSP server
can be using tree-sitter itself.

Even Emacs can become an LSP server and serve its 40-year old
hard earned intelligence  in many language to the world.  I think Richard
once supported this idea. There's a jsonrpc.el library in the core that
could make it easier to do that.
