Why is that a bad thing? If you found value in Azure and it solved your problem, why is that a negative?

Switching costs.

If the things are offered free, and you build a lot of it into your system, and now it costs money, you have to choose between paying that money, or paying a potentially high switching cost to move to a different system.

If you had known you were going to be faced with those costs, you may never have bought into the system in the first place.

The trap is comfy and warm. Why ask what the springs are connected to?
