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. https://medium.com/@kenhuiny/multi-cloud-is-mostly-a-waste-of-time-2d689b25d... 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
