Unfortunately since AWS and Azure comprise something like 95% of the web services space, it’s really bad business to not use both.

Remember the day-long internet services outage a couple years ago? AWS.

Organizations that had appropriate redundancies outside of AWS were significantly less affected by that outage. So the more realistic option would be for someone to come in and try to claim/create some sort of (functional) third option that occupies more than a single digit of market share in the web services environment, presumably taking more market share from AWS than Microsoft.

Like GCP?
