Security is a paid feature. They consider logs and critical security features extra addons. Granted other providers to some extent do the same but it is ridiculous with Azure. But the UI is much more pleasant to use than amazon or gcp which hardly makes up for their other failings. There is this terrible IT thing where companies want to use one vendor for as many things as possible. MS really shines there by tying in M365, Azure and AD/Entra Id together. Outside of networking, that's like 90% of IT. And there are a ton of people that made their careers out of MS expertise. This is why Azure is king with big corporations.
