I worked briefly in an enterprise facing sales organization that targeted multi-cloud deployments. Azure always had capacity problems.

As ridiculous as it sounds, having an enterprise's applications exist on multi-cloud isn't terrible if the application is mission critical - not only does this get around Azure's constant provisioning issues but protects an organization from the rare provider failure. (Though multi-region AWS has never been a problem in my experience, there is a first time for everything.) Data transfer pricing between clouds is prohibitively expensive, especially when you consider the reason why you may want multi-cloud in the first place (e.g., it's easier to provision 1000+ instances on AWS than Azure for an Apache Spark cluster for a few minutes or hours execution - mostly irrelevant if your data lives in Azure Data Lake Storage).
