Not true at all. As a user of AWS and Azure, I can say that I prefer the latter and it is gaining rapid market share. As a CTO I see a lot of resumes every week and there are plenty of startups being built on .NET

I was actually bearish on MSFT about 10 years ago, but since Ballmer has been gone I have seen a big improvement in cloud, developer tooling and a clearly different attitude towards Linux and open source software. Very confident in .NET now.
