As a .NET developer, I am provided with a MSDN sub by my employer and it comes with a monthly Azure allowance I can spend on whatever.
So somewhere down the road, even if I quit and decide to work with FOSS, for me the reason might be familiarity - which is not unlike the reason a lot of people insist on using other Microsoft products.

While I personally feel the performance of Azure is bad vs cost, and the management portal is a mess UI and performance wise, it's a decent product. Nothing like deploying your app from scratch from Git in a couple of clicks. I also filed a support call the other day and got truly exemplary phone support within a few hours from someone who definitely knew their stuff.
