Azure Pipelines gave us substantially more parallel capacity than is available via Github Actions, which means we can make build statuses appear much sooner.  Plus they support more platforms.

For what it's worth, this build should just be "mypy", not "mypy ubuntu"; there should never be any differences between mypy on different platforms since it's statically analyzing the code.  If there are, that sounds like it's mypy's problem, not ours, so it shouldn't be on our CI :).
