Microsoft Azure is going hell for leather over open source - the level of investment there is nuts. But having said all that, I'm not sure what developers think really matters that much at scale. At smaller companies I've seen devs and tech architects define the platform. As companies get bigger though, developers opinions are not really factored in - it's senior decision makers who decide which cloud platform, which software platform is going to be used. Whether for big consultancies and SIs or "end user" commercial businesses. And these are the organisations that generate the real money for cloud providers.
