That is not entirely correct, AzFW Premium with features such as TLS Inspection or IDPS operates at layer 7 as well

I'm only referring to Azure Firewall not premium because it's still in preview ( correct me if i'm wrong) and then not recommended for production use . Even if it operates at layer 7 i don't get the point to use a firewall instead of WAF unless you tell me that it can protect from top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities and provide Load balancing options as application gateway do.
