To set up basic App Services, Azure Functions, Web Jobs and the few other bits that I have been involved with, I have needed to do zero networking or permissions configuration.

Perhaps this is severely less secure by default, but it sure does make for a lower barrier to entry, and for reduced distraction from app development.

I also liked Heroku quite well. Felt at one point like I needed to move to Azure for some technical reason but right now, I can't recall the reason.

Originally in AWS I wanted to send emails from within a Lambda Function, and doing so required me to rework my networking configuration that I felt like I had barely gotten running AND pay ~$30/mo for some additional required networking service. IP Gateway or NAT Gateway or some other such. That was what finally ran me off from AWS.
