People underestimate how much compute genomics research chews up. The cloud companies (heck, even the CPU/GPU companies!) are for the most part trying to meet the researchers where they are instead of providing proprietary tools. For two reasons:
a) They can sell a lot of compute time, storage space, etc
b) It's an academic heavy field, and selling proprietary tools tend to be tough sledding
I'd be curious if the underpinnings of the support they have for these tools allows more toolsets to be brought over or if the integration is highly specialised.
