Microsoft server stack in Azure is a popular way for huge corporations to shift on-prem and in DC reliance off to the cloud. I've worked at massive and small orgs (in the past) who all relied on Azure for this, so I reckon that must be a big reason.

It’s Microsoft.

Meaning once you‘re in you‘re in.

C-Suite trusts them and engineers make it work or don’t know anything else / are fine with it because it’s Linux, Docker or k8s in the end anyway 

I use it all the time in the day job, corporate loves Azure

big companies don't optimize for devex 
deals

I think It’s call marketing. Non tech C-suite making structural tech decision because the MS sales man is doing a great job at exploiting risk aversion (or worst). I’ve seen that a lot in European big corps. The tech penalty is bearable whereas the data sovereignty one might be an existential threat.

I learned it and it sucks so much that i just use blockchain, CLI, and linux nodes

all you really need tbh
