Well my 2cts.. I'm sure they take it serious but AWS has been around for longer, and developers seem to really like it, cause you can spin up a small environment and just play around with it. Google Cloud Platform exists now but I feel it's a bit late to the race. Google App Engine existed before Google Cloud Platform and it was super nice to use in my experience, however at the same time totally locked in with Google. If you wanted to get out it required a lot of development effort, which is not per se the same on AWS. Besides that, there was the Google App Engine bait-and-switch which screwed so many people over.. People who were doing low budget products on Google App Engine and basically had to migrate to something else immediately. This left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I've never recommended Google App Engine after this. Last but not least Google has a super bad reputation when it comes to people's privacy, which many developers care a lot about.
