That's a myth. I've worked at those big government departments, and Microsoft ignores their requirements too! Also, Azure is "all new", so legacy compatibility shouldn't be a big concern. Except... it is, because a bunch of half-baked MVPs were thrown over the fence and now have to be supported while they work on the "proper" solution. We're up to the 3rd iteration of VM monitoring, the 3rd iteration of AAD client libraries, etc...
