Google has demonstrated a culture of killing off services. https://www.thestack.technology/google-cloud-iot-core-retired-killed-by-google/ https://www.thestack.technology/google-cloud-iot-core-retire...
Amazon, on the consumer side has many canceled products. On the AWS side they have demonstrated a commitment to keeping old services alive.
So on a surface level, your analysis holds up. But where Amazon has earned some goodwill by supporting even barely used services, Google has not.
Perhaps they will given time, as GCP is fairly new. But when you are talking tens of millions of dollars in spend, reputation matters.
