Because if you give 1 billion dollars away, you are 1 billion less wealthy. If you give away 1 billion dollars worth of Azure credits, you are some much smaller percentage of 1 billion less wealthy, and the recipient is still receiving 1 billion in value.

- xg15 11y agoOnly because you declare that something has the value of 1 billion doesn't make it so. First, you're not giving away physical goods, but eligibility for a service - but what exactly this service entails and how useful it is can still change in the future. Second, it's a service that requires a substantial level of commitment from your clients - a commitment that causes risks for the clients in its own (lock-in) as discussed in many other places in this thread.
