That's because of a default setting in 🆚CODE

// When enabled, insert a final new line at the end of the file when saving it.
"files.insertFinalNewline": false,

Turn that to true and you'll be able to persist a new line. I'd also recommend that your turn on the trimmer for more than one new lines at the end.

  • STEP #1: Press ⌘ + , (CTRL on Windows/Linux) to open settings.
  • STEP #2: Add the following two settings. 
    "files.insertFinalNewline": true,
"files.trimFinalNewlines": true,

Go to the extensions in vs code and delete the extension called save on typing and delete it and everything will be good to go

The problem was not in the settings but in the extensions. As pointed out in a comment in the question by VictorS., running the editor in code --disable-extensions I validated that without extensions it does work. Then I started uninstalling extensions until it works and finally zero'd down to this plugin and uninstalling it made things work as I was expecting.

You've set files.eol to be \r\n. I'm no expert, but since you're on Linux, you might want to try the Linux-specific EOL-marker \n. Source

It's the wrong setting.

The correct setting is 

"files.insertFinalNewline": false,

setting this to true will enable a new line to be added when saving the file. There is an even more explicit setting "html.format.endWithNewline": false, but I've never used that so I am unsure how it works.
