Enterprise costs are negotiable. I can easily imagine Google paying VMware several billion per year for a product they want. I can’t imagine Google using ESX — they want a product they fully control.

I don't believe any bigger cloud providers want to adopt closed unmodifiable products as a core. Windows/Hyper-V is similar from outside but it's in house for Azure(MS).

Even second-tier clouds that can't afford to develop their own hypervisor don't use ESX though. Literally no public clouds use it.

It's a bit less, er, cloudish and self-service than I usually think of cloud as being, but these folks do use VMware:
