Given the pricing compared to AWS and others, I don't think they're losing money on it... It was my first choice when I stopped self-hosting a windows server for some personal projects/sites. Though I'm on about the smallest option, and that is running me around $10-12 a month, I'm using CloudFlare in front of the 5 websites on that box.
That said, nothing big, and planning to migrate things to linux solutions but time and motivation don't always align for personal stuff at the end of the work day.
They seem to be one of the better options if you need hosted windows anything as part of your cloud strategy. And having played around with Azure's other services [1], it seems to work pretty well all around. I did find the default interfaces for Azure's storage a bit difficult to work with, so I created a wrapper with imho a nicer interface.
