As an architect, and one using primarily Microsoft technologies at that, I really doubt Microsoft's 90% figure.
Microservices have their place, but I really think monolithic architectures are far more suitable for the vast majority of cases.
Every time I've seen microservices in use in the enterprise space, it's been a complete mess - no documentation, incredibly brittle services written in a multitude of languages using just as many idioms, devs scared to touch anything lest they break it, no standardised logging... doing microservices "right" requires a highly disciplined team with processes and DevOps enshrined in the company.

The same report predicted that "500 million apps" will be created between over the 2018-2023 timeframe, which looks suspiciously like someone saying "100 million a year, what do you think Frank?" and then getting the nod because "a billion" is even more clearly absurd.
