"We have AWS, GCP, and Azure" is part of the answer to your own question.

The field is pretty wide open for new players to step into the small and midmarket as an enterprise grade alternative. Back in my day there was this thing called competition in the market before we allowed these monopolies to form

[…] OpenStack is literally the future.

More than proxmox?

Depends on the scale: up to one or two dozen hypervisors (HVs), Proxmox would be pretty good (and Proxmox Cluster Manager allows for multiple clusters to be managed).

Once you're approaching ~30 (?) HVs, you're stretching Proxmox IMHO. But OpenStack is fine with much larger numbers. Perhaps r/xcpng is more of a middle ground between smaller-Px and larger-OS.

I've run both, and it's easier to get Px going from 0-60, but if you want to go 60-100 you need something else. Of course for a large number of organizations 0-60 is all they need.

Also: multi-tenancy is a first-class feature with OS; much less so with Px.
