I think Github Actions is just a lead for Microsoft customers to use paid Azure DevOps. It is bad intentionally.

Azure DevOps doesn't have any hosted images above the minimum-sized ones... if we were ever going to move off of GitHub Actions, it wouldn't be to a service that required use to manage our own VMs/images.

ADO is far worse in every conceivable way. It lends itself to utterly byzantine dependency trees for the CI definitions, and also makes it very complex to set permissions to prevent pipelines running from branches with the same permissions as the protected branch.
