Thanks man, glad you liked the posts! Have one more coming on Monday about a corruption issue I hit. Overall, I'm really happy with the platform so far.

This sounds sort of like IaaS, except without a SQL Server license and without access to the host VM.

It is. At first I thought it was an IaaS VM for us, at a pricey level. This is something different. It's got some scalability, so it's more like a reserved VM, but there are some limitations, likely related to network discovery and ensuring connections after HA movement.

What motivates these new editions (or hosting options) for SQL Server is probably an attempt by Microsoft to lure more high value corporate customers into the Azure tent. I'm sure Microsoft has had many potential $$,$$$,$$$ class corporate or government clients who said: "This sounds interesting. However, we would consider moving our databases to Azure if only ... (some technical reason)...".

That's certainly what this is. There are customers that want this type of managed environment because of scale. They don't want to manage a data center any longer, or are trying to avoid expanding theirs, so this is attractive.
For us smaller people, not sure this is cost effective, but perhaps.
