Sounds like there’s a huge opportunity then, maybe you or someone else will be breaking into this space soon. I’m skeptical because nobody has tried your idea and there’s been no real barrier for implementing your idea.

No, the goal of a company leader is to maximize profit. Microsoft themselves flipped their entire business model away from being Windows-centric to maximize profit. Imagine 1999 Microsoft letting you install Linux on Windows or run Linux servers in their data center because it had profit potential that Windows could ever achieve.
Azure was a huge shift for Microsoft. They would do the same for LinkedIn if they saw the potential to quadruple revenue like you claim.
