That people consolidated their business atop VMware's hypervisor, got screwed by Broadcom, and as a result are moving everything to Nutanix (from whom they need to buy the hypervisor, the compute stack, the storage stack, etc.) is insane to me.

Most don't even consider the amounts as getting screwed, just enough change that on the next refresh cycle it was worth switching to a different provider. For a lot of these places it was just 10-15 years ago they went from 0 VMs to 80%+ VMs so they aren't worried about needing to move around, just the quality of the support contract etc.
