In Microsoft's defense, Azure has always been a complete joke. It's extremely developer unfriendly, buggy and overpriced.

Actually one of the inventors of k8s was the project lead for copilot in the azure portal, and deployed it over a year ago.
I've only used Azure, to me it seems fine ish. Some things are rather overcomplicated and it's far from perfect but I assumed the other providers were similarly complicated and imperfect.
Can't say I've experienced many bugs in there either. It definitely is overpriced but I assume they all are?

Don't forget extremely insecure. There is a quarterly critical cross-tenant CVE with trivial exploitation for them, and it has been like that for years.
Given how much time I spent on my first real multi-tenant project, dealing with the consequences of architecture decisions meant to prevent these sorts of issues, I can see clearly the temptation to avoid dealing with them.
But what we do when things are easy is not who we are. That's a fiction. It's how we show up when we are in the shit that matters. It's discipline that tells you to voluntarily go into all of the multi-tenant mitigations instead of waiting for your boss to notice and move the goalposts you should have moved on your own.
Yeah Windows Phone's first releases were decent. I have developed apps for Windows actually using Window's UWP framework but there weren't enough users on their platform sadly.
If you call that defending microsoft, I'd hate to see what attacking them looks like :)
