This is the risk of using, checks notes, Azure and working with Microsoft.

Except there is no risk for them. They've proven time and again they have major security snafus and not be held accountable.

Virtual networks are a nightmare to setup and manage in Azure which is why everyone just takes the easy path and not bother.

Almost every Azure service we deal with has virtual networks as an after thought because they want to get to market as quickly as possible, and even to them managing vnets is a nightmare.

Not to excuse developers/users though. There are plenty of unsecured S3 buckets, docker containers, and Github repos that expose too much "because it's easier". I've had a developer checkin their ftp creds into a repo the whole company has access to. He even broke the keys up and concat them in shell to work around the static checks "because it's easier" for their dev/test flow.
