I think the reasons partners say that is because of the lack of adoption/feature full integrations that exist with partners (when compared to vmware). vCenter is also a much better tool than anything Microsoft provides out of the box to manage, and it doesn't seem to get any focus to make it better. WAC was a hope, but seemed to die out in terms of further advancements.

MicrosoftWindows Admin Center is well under development with more features on the way, but it's not meant to compete with vCenter. Never has. The better comparison is the Azure Portal. With Azure you can manage your Azure Stack HCI deployments running around the globe. You constantly get new features which light up in the cloud and you never have to deal with traditional datacenter lifecycle management. You can monitor, backup, secure, improve governance, enable business continuity, patch management for your resources running anywhere. If you're a Sysadmin, IT Professional, DevOps and you aren't learning the Azure Portal now, you should.
