But there are unbundled DBs that people run. PostgreSQL, mongo, MySQL and the majority of those are run on the AWS cloud.

There is clearly a distinction here. For example, I don’t know if the word Azure is even mentioned when I go to buy an O365 license.

And people can still buy standalone Office installations.

How does this matter? Microsoft includes this as Cloud revenue and not Azure revenue.
