If my sources are correct, GCP did not launch on dedicated hardware like EC2 did, which raised customer concerns about isolation guarantees. (Not sure if that’s still the case.) And Azure didn’t have hardware-assisted I/O virtualization ("Azure Boost") until just a few years ago and it's not as mature as Nitro.
Even today, Azure doesn’t support nested virtualization the way one might ordinarily expect them to. It's only supported with Hyper-V on the guest, i.e., Windows.
