It seems Google is very interested in making GCP a platform for companies that really need to build cloud-based distributed systems first and foremost. It's a cloud-native IaaS platform. AWS, which I also use extensively FWIW, has always felt more like a platform for porting existing on-premise applications onto. You can build atop of AWS at any stage of the game, but it never quite feels like it's anymore than a bunch of very integrated parts with various degrees of quality.
