Microsoft still wins in the end, they don't care if UNIX has won the server room, provided they still get the money for Azure OS, or Azure Sphere OS.
Looking at their earnings, it is going pretty well.

it's going pretty well right now, but if they keep massively increasing prices, it won't keep up forever.
the company i work at pays almost double now compared to a year ago, for arguably worse service. some of us in IT are looking at options, because being locked into a service that keeps shooting up in price is a huge risk.
yes it'll be hard to get away from the ecosystem. but with the increasing price, demand for alternatives surges too, and i can't see it taking too long until we get some options.
It is like running away from the lion, they only need to be better than GCP and cheaper than AWS.
Stuff like Vercel, Cloudflare or Netfly isn't the main market they are after, at least if they keep focusing on being clouds for frontend devs.
