But it now gives Google cloud integrated services that will always have the newest features whereas the other cloud providers will have to pay to maintain their in house solutions themselves due to the recent changes in many popular open source license's. That leapfrogs AWS and azure in feature parity on those services while also funding said services further because they get a cut. Brilliant move IMO and I think it'll be a boom for improving open source software and increasing competition between the clouds.
