> Azure offers a large number of configuration options that can be tricky to get right

That's basically the summary of Azure. I think all that complexity ends up hurting more than it helps, not just on the end user side, but in terms of lower reliability from the provider side.

Windows is the same way: absurd numbers of options. I would not be surprised if Windows 10 had over a million configuration settings between regular panels, policies, and the registry.

You think Windows has more configuration options than Linux?

Not that, no. But usually Microsoft/Windows limits some arbitrary stuff when configuring something else. The report reads a lot like (for at least the Azure section) „if you configure option A, option B will be enabled because option C will be unavailable. Therefore we provide 10 different options of each A, B and C you can combine however you want“.

If you count installing different packages to interact with your system, no. But in the Windows 10 distro there's certainly more configurability than Kubuntu for example.

Absurd compared to what?

Compared to what humans can reasonably support.
