Because, I would hope, the people running boxes on Azure are run by IT people who are about security. Not the case for consumer hardware. Taking control of a few Azure accounts might be worth a few hundred Xbones but which one is easier and more likely to go unnoticed? |

People who are about security can secure 10 servers. Manually securing 1 million of them is prohibitively expensive.
MS have the technology to secure them by default. Key part of this technology is hardware-assisted virtualization + hypervisor.
The same architecture runs MS XBox one, MS Azure, and many other products like Amazon EC2.

Accounts? How about actual, hardware servers?
