Is there any particular reason why it seems weird? Is it because they've never supported it, or something more involved?

Totally an irrational personal bias that I need to drop...

When you think of Google and deploying to the cloud, Borg and K8s come to mind. That's their expertise. Windows Server doesn't fit into that picture.

I guess it is the same with Azure and running Linux VMs there. Although a third of Azure VMs run Linux, the marketing and public awareness hasn't caught up with that reality.
