Difference is, AWS was growing into a void. Google has to contend with established leaders. GCP is basically number four globally in cloud - with Alibaba being number three This tells me it won't last much longer...Google can't afford to spend all that money to be number four

Yes, but also the market is much bigger now, and the cloud isn't something abstract people need to be convinced about. It's the de facto standard now. > GCP is basically number four globally in cloud - with Alibaba being number three Alibaba is niche in that few people outside of Asia would use it. It's still an enormous market, but GCP/AWS/Azure and Alibaba don't compete for the same workloads in the majority of cases. So there's plenty of place under the sun for GCP, if Google want it. Them killing it would be b2b suicide.
