As a long time techie, and somebody that's run Linux as my main OS for over 20yrs, hard to hate MS more than me, but, MS is a very different company now than in years past. They've come pretty far from the days of Ballmer destroying it, directly involved with more Open source shit now, Azure is literally Linux, they have people working physically with Canonical on all the WSL shit, they're trying at least.

Still wouldn't run garbage Windows for shit, but credit where credit is due.

How exactly is azure Linux? That doesn’t make sense in any way.

There is a distro called Azure Linux

There's also a distro called Hannah Montana Linux, but that doesn't make Hannah Montana literally Linux.
