Yeah but there was a big shift away from virtualization to cloud and micro services. As a former VMware admin I'm surprised VMware is doing as well as they are now. But maybe my view is just shaded by the bank I was working for that was moving away from it to AWS.

There isn’t really a big shift to cloud yet. Only 5% of all IT spend is on any cloud provider according to the CEO of Amazon and former CEO of AWS [1]

Yep. This has been the sentiment shared by Google Cloud execs a lot too. All the players are looking at the 10-20 year picture with regard market share / spend (in an industry where no-one knows what compute infrastructure will look like by the middle of that period).
