This "well over a decade" claim needs some qualification. GCP only became gevnerally available in Nov 2011. Before that, there was App Engine and Cloud Storage, but not GCP.

Do you mean they should have said instead "within 9 months after GCP became generally available" to be more precise in their statement?

I jumped onto AppEngine as soon as I saw it announced (probably here on HN). Probably sometime around late 2009. Quickly convinced my friend Jeff to get onto it... we saw a need for a datastore wrapper and he (and I a tiny bit) wrote Objectify, which is one of the most widely used tools for AppEngine out there.
