At my work we are already moving away from Azure, though not everything all at once, and this won’t change that. Those of us who work with it never wanted to in the first place, and have since Trump’s inauguration gotten the ammo to convice leadership to force our IT department (who’s heavily boased towards MS products) to relinquish control. It will be more difficult getting the company off of MS365 though, unfortunately.
Where are you moving to? What are viable alternatives for small companies where owning your own servers is not straightforward?
We have a few VPS outside Azure, but the reliability compared to Azure is noticeable. At the moment I would love to move, but nothing (European) gives us uptime guarantees that we need to promise our customers in our SaaS solution.
I understand there is the whole argument that until there is demand there will not be the resource. But until there is the resource then e we can’t begin to switch and create the demand.
Of course, there may be perfect alternatives already that I just don’t know about.

I have a small industrial company and we are transitioning away. Quickly.
Currently, only CAD stations are a problem, the rest is on track to be MS free by the end of the year.
