IMO, everyone should stop using Google's email and cloud due to privacy concerns.

  And Android.

  At my previous company we were all in on Google Cloud, mostly for technical reasons as we felt it worked better for us than AWS. When it came to whitelabelling our product for a big multinational customer, they really liked that we were hosted on GCP and not AWS because they considered Amazon a competitor and couldn't justify paying AWS as a result. Privacy concerns aside (which I believe are overblown for GCP, strong walls around customer workloads), competition concerns are big for many companies, and Amazon is out there trying to compete with almost everyone in retail and services now. I can only imagine this is going to get worse. Disclaimer, I now work at Google but not on any of this stuff, this is my personal opinion.

    mostly for technical reasons as we felt [..] Are you sure that's a technical reason?

      Perhaps bad phrasing, but roughly yes. The hosted Kubernetes offering was more standard, integrated well into the rest of the available services, few other details. It was just a more technically complete and capable product for Kubernetes hosting.
