MS has a huge legacy market, they don't want to end up as the next oracle where every dev relentlessly argues to move to a different platform.
Making tools/functionality free such that existing devs don't want to jump, and new devs consider azure is a reasonable business strategy.

Azure is the only platform that I see these efforts helping, and maybe that's enough, but I still have to wonder if there's something I'm missing.
