Hyperscale cloud has stringent security and compliance requirements, and within hyperscale cloud, it's institutionally difficult to lobby for spending on a startup. I spent about six years in hyperscale cloud and never saw a case where we spent a few million on a startup.

You seem to have misunderstood, I'm not referring to the hyperscaler spending money themselves.

If you don't think any ISVs are making millions through the marketplace you're simply mistaken. I worked at Google Cloud and personally know at least one startup that made the majority of their revenue through cloud partnerships.
