A lot of the clients I do work for in the MSP I work in, this is half truth. Yes, a sizeable portion of servers are running a Linux based hypervisor, to serve windows VM's.
Vmware? I've seen hyper-v used, but it's rare imo. And the reason for it being rare is the performance, at least that's how I see it. Vmware is just way more efficient. Not sure about Azure Arc HCI though, I recently had an old colleague tell me that they are switching to that.
Even Microsoft has stated that the majority of the servers being run on Azure are Linux. An MSP usually manages small businesses and maybe a couple midsized businesses. And then ask the doctors clinics, dentist offices, etc.
Most small business owners are stuck in the early 2000s "can't use some weird open source commie crap made by some kids in his mom's basement to do real work" mentality.
I worked at an MSP myself for a number of years and the fear of anything not Microsoft was palpable.
