Disclaimer: I work at AWS in Professional Services and I’ve work with AWS and Microsoft (less so Azure) on the other side as a dev lead as a customer.
Cloud and the enterprise is very high touch and requires understanding the customer and meeting them where they are and not try to convince them of the “one true way”. It also requires respecting the customers business processes and understanding the politics of any large organization.
I have no opinions about GCP and even if I did, it would be gauche to criticize a competitor. I’ve never had a reason to have any dependency on anything Google as part of my work. Google itself doesn’t have the DNA that is required to work with the enterprise. Microsoft has been building those competencies since the mid 80s and AWS has first mover advantage.
It’s also the same reason that Google struggles with consumer products compared to Apple. Apple has spent decades selling to consumers, having human customer service, a network of Apple Stores, etc.
