Yeah, I thought about that possibility, but I'm skeptical because the usefulness of Canonical getting that data directly from Microsoft seems really minimal. Whatever data Microsoft is collecting from its clients (I'd think it's at most metadata about base images, instance types, and maybe number of instances and usage patterns) should be trivial for those clients to provide to Canonical, if needed, if and when they initiate a support contract.
