Op-Ed : Multi-cloud is a fad ?

This article assumes Multi-cloud is a fad because it doesnt offer much
value and its like sd-wan, a mere marchitecture.


What if these products turn into controllers, working with Equinix and/or
carriers to provide cloud-coloco, orchestrated by the cloud.

Reasons why there is no value:


1) Geography and Latency Requirements are all great now across the same
cloud regions.

2) Mitigation Against Cloud Outages doesnt matter much.

3) Avoidance of Vendor Lock-in is a joke


Opinions or facts would both be appreciated.


Thanks
