OP here. I agree with you: if you know your deployment is, and always shall be, on e.g. AWS, you essentially lose out on great integration if you try to be cloud agnostic. However, as in the introduction: "Whether motivated by the need for a multi-cloud strategy, expenditure minimization, legislative or regulatory demands, or simply to get closer to end users, many organizations find themselves migrating from one cloud to another." I work with many customers that migrate away from the big US providers because GDPR and the "Schrems II" ruling makes it legally questionable to continue to use these services for certain data processing. Or ones that have been bitten hard by cloud outages, causing them to fail to deliver service to their customers. Getting a tiny rebate on your cloud bill that month does not begin to cover the lost reputation due to downtime.
