Reputation definitely matter here, I trust Amazon and Microsoft more than Google for sure when it comes to suddenly pulling the plug on services people are using.

It make sense to use IT-Services and Hosting, but i think there are also many cases when a companie should think about the cost of cloud(instead of easy and fast setup - pinterest and many others burned high amount of capital ) or a move to another Hosting/Cloud service(better price or stop paying a rival - netflix and amazon aws).
