Sure, this is nothing about being "Microsoft" or "Linux" centric, you can use it as a ticketing and CICD tool that literally has plugins to connect to AWS or GCP through terraform cli stages and deploy from there. Azure DevOps is about as centric to Microsoft as Jira is to Canonical in terms of service functionality. If your only criteria for tool selection is "MS bad" you might want reconsider how you evaluate your tool set. I say this as someone who started out using Linux, still uses Linux for the majority of their job, and uses a MacBook Pro for work and personal use, outside of gaming of course. The only things we use in Azure specifically are Active Directory and Azure DevOps, which again, right tool for the right job. You probably wouldn't want to attempt using FreeIPA because "MS bad" when AD has already been production ready for years. And again, there is no way you will be able to see how JIRA does things wrong if it's the first and only tool you ever use. Search functionality is a relative dream in Azure DevOps, for starters.
