Okay, but maybe other people don't want that if it entails their information being shared with a company they haven't initiated a business relationship with?

The servers are not hosted by Canonical

But the servers are running Canonical software. Just because it's GPL'd doesn't mean that Canonical doesn't own it or that you have no relationship with them by using it. You are paying them a license fee to get the azure image, after all.

To say that you have no business relationship with Canonical while paying Canonical to use Canonical software with official Canonical technical support is absurd to the highest degree.
