The projects I've been on that used GCP over AWS fell into two categories.
1). CEO with delusions of grandeur who thought that Amazon was a direct competitor to their business and should not be given money.
2). Projects that used Kubernetes.
Two is the only type of project which doesn't result in tens of millions of dollars wasted.

There were daily long-term scheduled meetings with AWS developers to review new features and versions. In addition, the policy from mgmt. was that they were fine being mono-cloud, since if they changed their mind, they had the engineering resources to migrate whenever it made sense.
