I can't remember the source, however, I believe Microsoft is overstating the usage of Azure as a cloud computing platform. For example Office 365 is hosted on Azure and counted towards the cloud computing figure.

That may have been true in the past, but definitely not these days. MS separates Office 365 sales from Azure sales in its reports (e.g. [0]).

I can only cite sources. Disputing the numbers would have to be taken up with Statista and their sources, I can't comment on this.
The revenue chart looks more favourable for Microsoft (e.g. 20% share for Azure vs. 30% share for AWS), so maybe that's the data you have in mind?
Last year, Azure was the 2nd biggest player in cloud computing, being "only" 2/3 of AWS' market share, but still having more than 3x the market share of the next biggest competitor (Google).
Indeed hardly something I'd call "struggling".
