I use only one product of Microsoft,
Visual studio code
But I use many products of Alphabet Inc ,
Google, (servers)
Google docs, (servers)
Google drive, (servers)
Google keep, (servers)
Gmail, (servers)
Android, (client)
Maps, (servers)
YouTube, (servers)
Tez, (servers)
Play store, (servers)
Google translate, (servers),
...
Many people don't realise it because almost all of them are available for free.
Google products have very market.
Incase of Google, they have cost of maintenance almost for every product they develop.
But in case of Microsoft, they have less overhead.
Windows (client)
Azure (servers)
Xbox (client)
Visual studio (client)
Visual studio code (client)
SQL (client)
MS Office (client)
...
Microsoft also needs to push updates but, less than that of Google.
YouTube consumes too much of bandwidth,
Same is the case with Play Store.
