It is well understood what the benefits and potential problems of using Google Services are. Being an Android developer, like the company in this article, seems most problematic because unless you want to sell digital assets outside of the Play store, there is no alternative. For individuals and other companies, it is easy enough to place an abstraction layer around using Google Services: have your own domain temporarily or perhaps permanently attached to a G Suite account. Be systematic about creating Google Takeaway data dumps and saving them yourself. When using GCP, write your own or use standard library wrappers around GCP APIs. Then you get the advantages of using Google, protected against low probability of occurrence problems. I also like to use Amazon and Microsoft services and I take similar precautions.
