Sounds about right; your description matches what I've heard from other people and it's one of the reasons why, last time I was contacted by a recruiter for an Azure team I said no. The products are unfocused and it really feels like there's simultaneously a lack of vision and a feeling of undeserved excellence. (One of my coworkers came to us from Microsoft, and he mentioned that the Ibiza team thinks that they made a good product...)
The inability for the various services to actually work together is befuddling too. We had a meeting the other day to sketch out some stuff about our environment and, being way more familiar with AWS and GCP, I started by sketching out a network only to have it pointed out to me that app services aren't even in private virtual networks in the year of our lord 2018. And I thought AWS was dysfunctional!
Maybe if they actually wanted product vision I'd listen to a job there, but that seems at odds with what Azure is: "we have a cloud too, don't you want more Windows in yours?". OTOH, I want a cloud offering that works like AWS and GCP because that's minimally surprising.
