The current state of affairs is that AWS still dominates. Your claim of 45% shows that you are simply repeating what some myopic analyst has written. Talk to industry experts, and you'll see why I'm right.
Anyhow, data > anyone's anecdotes.
Nobody is saying otherwise.

This is anecdotal. Provide some verifiable source.
Does AWS not report their WorkDocs (which nobody uses, and hence less revenue) and similar revenue in their AWS revenue? Does GCP not include G-Suite revenue in their Cloud revenue? I don't see what 'game' is Microsoft playing? Are they saying they are the #1 cloud provider because of their revenue? No.
This report is not a dick measuring contest to find the best and the biggest cloud provider. This is for Microsoft to showcase to investors why they should invest in Microsoft.

Microsoft have been playing this game for years now. It's a joke.
Anybody with just a little sense of how the industry works knows that AWS still leads the market with 80% to 90% penetration.
Microsoft should be punished for misleading the public this way. And some analysts should be fired for not knowing better.
