That said, there has been a recent trend moving away from phishing. Exposed services are gaining more popularity,especially for cloud vms.

In that phishing is happening less, or more folks are not properly securing their cloud services?

In that, phishing for malware delivery is getting harder so some gangs try unsecured cloud/onprem assets for initial access. Phishing levels have not changed overall from my perspective but how targeted attacks happen seems to be tilting slightly to other initial access tactics.
