  You dont want your competitor to earn as much or have your infrastructure held hostage. For example Walmart would likely prefer Google or better yet Microsoft Azure as they dont compete in any segment. The same goes to UPS, Fedex and DHL. Also lots of other retailers.

    But why banking industry?

      Somebody answered it above. Microsoft have zero intention, zero incentives, zero interest in Banking, Finance or Insurance. Even if they have such a thought right now, nothing they are doing have shown it. Amazon has a clear vision, records, and chances to enter those segment. Selling Health, Car insurance, Banking, Credit Card to their Amazon Prime Member. That is the problem with being a platform. It is the same reason why business dislike what Apple are doing with their services and IAP.
