Buying best of breed solutions that integrate with their cloud is as good an ever-present option as I can think of. It adds value to their cloud, is responsive to actual customer desires, and generally seems like a bargain at the right stage (a Google-supported tool being more valuable than a third-party GCP tool, even with Google's questionable dedication to longevity). Just don't make the IBM / MS mistake and think adding more PMs to previously successful company is a good idea.
