Adding probably legacy businesses into the growing 'new cloud' revenue totals looks like they have more than they say, that's why they do it. Amazon cloud only started with aws, they don't have 30 year workloads from ancient companies moved to a cloud. It matters because you are hiding the new part from the legacy part, legacy is probably shrinking in general. It makes microsoft look much larger.
you can argue that running active directory in a cloud vm is still in the cloud - yes, but that's not the same kind of growth because that entire old windows market is static at best.
