Milking customers only works if they can't go anywhere else. Too bad dozens of different virtual machine hypervisors exist. Docker is also a thing (I know it's not a VM but it more or less serves the same purpose).

The potential costs of staying in VMWare are now higher than migrating, plus now there's the added incentive of getting rid of ancient technical debt. Overall, it's a good thing from a security and long-term cost standpoint for most of these businesses.
