Enterprise* customers are overwhelmingly more likely to primarily host on Azure than GCP, m365 runs the corporate world top to bottom. OpenAI doesn't care where the customers come from, more platforms == more reach, they have zero reason to be preferential to any single hosting platform.
* By "enterprise" here I mean "big company that is not a tech company". If most of your userbase is carrying a mac, you're probably a tech company. If you're mostly making widgets in factories, chances are high Windows and the ecosystem around it is involved.
Running m365 doesn't meant their boring ERP system has to run on Azure even if MS would love them to.
These are the companies running SAP and Oracle. It can run anywhere, including GCP and AWS.
I've heard this described as having a "real" or "fake" corporate job on social media.
If you have a Thinkpad, you have a real job. And if you have a MacBook, you have a fake job.
