If you hire hammer experts then you're going to end up using a lot of hammers in your construction. The Azure experts aren't pitching Azure because they're trying to sell more Azure products. They do it because that's all they know and most likely because you don't know it so you'll be likely to come back to them for support when things inevitably need to evolve.
Also, the more you use your cloud vendor's various services in your code, the more subject you are to vendor lock-in.
I won't name any names, but I'm pretty sure this is a big part of the reason why a specific cloud vendor pushed so very hard for us to push a bunch of data into their highly advanced NoSQL big data solution, when the data in question was perfectly happy continuing indefinitely to exist as a few tens of megabytes of CSV files that were growing at a rate of a couple kilobytes per day.
CosmosDB?
It’s okay, this is the Internet, you can name names.
