I can't remember when I last heard someone saying "Amazon Web Services". It's commonly called AWS and while most people know it's owned by Amazon, it's a very distinct product. Google Cloud follows the same naming pattern as other Google products, many of which were discontinued. These things shouldn't make a difference but I believe they do, and they help to shield AWS from negative press around Amazon.
