Much like "How could X have won? I don't know anybody who voted for him.", this is perhaps more of a comment about your social circles than about the MS stack. It isn't my kettle of fish either, but you could go to e.g. FogCreek and meet smart people doing fun stuff with it. Ditto Java.
Can you show any evidence of Microsoft .Net or Azure gaining popularity? I admittedly have no evidence other than my own social circles and preconceived notions.
