"And even when it comes to the cloud, the choice for startups is usually between AWS and Google Cloud Platform. Microsoft is out-of-sight and out-of-mind."
I thought Azure was number two in the Cloud-as-a-service game.
It's possible that startups are not representative of the market as a whole.
Intuitively this makes sense, I've seen an out-sized number (compared to their market-share) of enterprise products hosted on Azure. To the point where I'm usually surprised at how low their share is. I spend a lot of time working with large companies, so one way to square this would be large companies being more likely to use Azure than the average.
