Different teams in the same organization move to different type of clouds based on their needs. This is one of the reason for the increase in the average number of clouds in a organization
Great points on why hybrid and multi cloud is here to stay!
The important distinction is that all of us are going to have the "multi" experience within Hybrid boundaries. Running such an environment seamlessly would require extensive coordination across infrastructure, network and application layers. This is where vendors have the opportunity to innovate simplified and beautiful experience.

[ 4.3 ms ] story [ 22.6 ms ] thread- If you acquire a company – they could be using a different cloud – so you are now forced to use multiple clouds.
- Migration from physical DC to cloud could take time, so you end up using multiple clouds
- One cloud vendor could give you an irresistibly sweet deal to start adopting it
- Some clouds are better in certain aspects (ML,BigQuery good in GCP; Bandwidth costs low in AWS etc)
- Avoid vendor lock in so that one vendor cannot raise costs too high
- You build your infra to be one vendor agnostic, so you start using ‘Infra as a code’ tools like Terraform
