Not surprising. Hock made it extremely, abundantly clear that he only cares about the biggest handful of customers (that purchase hundreds of thousands of cores). Killing free vSphere was one of his first moves. That said, no SMB is running a vDC on 72 cores unless they're okay with insane overcommit, which they would've already moved over to KVM if so.
