Developing OSes and software was clearly an unsustainable business. It's obvious in hindsight that cloud infrastructure was the way to go.
Cloud infrastructure has become a commodity though and you can replace your cloud provider easily (theoretically, lol). What moat can MS or anyone else build around cloud infrastructure? Compare to OS' where MS may never have had a competitor catch up if they'd kept up speed on their OS teams.
Same with video games these days. Adding in digital casinos may seem nice but now you're just the same as every other digital casino offering.
