All signs point towards Microsoft opening up their platforms rather than locking people in. I expect that in this case, it's more to do with the overhead of piping data in to and out of their data centers (I.E. paying for bandwidth) as opposed to getting bandwidth for free by having the data colocated with their ML servers.
