So why just Google? Why not Alibaba cloud which has the same marketshare? Why not Azure which is much bigger threat because Microsoft can actually build competitive products?
Why do you never hear about this sort of issues about other companies?

Yeah, you have to assess risks somehow... and if what Google is providing is so much better value for the risks, go ahead.

Because they want to automate as much as possible and want to crowd source accidental mishaps. If someone is genuine and important enough, they'll make noise in twitter, reddit, HN... and then they can fix it. It is cheaper for them to do it that way. If you are OK with telling your customer tomorrow that the service was down for a week because your former employee's ex wife misgendered her neighbors pet alpaca, then go ahead and use Google.
