Egress toll is not about preventing migration off-platform. It's about preventing operation off-platform. They don't want you to come to GCP for a single product like Spanner or BigQuery or some high-tech ML/AI offering while most of your infra runs in big dumb baremetals at the Hetzner or OVH datacenter down the street. If you're coming for Spanner, you also have to buy their overpriced VMs, object storage, log storage and whatever else you need. That's where the real money is made.
