Multi-cloud deployments often happen organically in large organizations, e.g. because there are always legacy systems, possibly different procurement processes in sub-companies, different legal requirements in national branches leading to the use of different vendors or acquisitions of companies with different tech stacks. And while consolidating all IT on a single platform sounds really tempting it can quickly become a disaster and spectacularly fail as well, so multi-cloud deployments are probably here to stay.

You're describing fragmentation, not multi-cloud resiliency or diversification. Think "something catastrophic has happened to AWS but the business can still ship orders because the required services are also running in Azure."
I think the parent topic is about deploying a single application across multiple cloud vendors, not having application A on Azure and application B on AWS
