Cloud is not about the underlying hardware (ok maybe some things are) but about services. Even with the M1 Apple are 15 years behind Amazon and Microsoft in terms of building out "cloud" infrastructure. And that's ok. If there was a specific type of service a cloud provider saw that would benefit from the M1 then I'm sure Apple would happily sell it to them.
