Google doesn't offer its computing as a product (well, yes, there's App Engine, but it's pretty tiny). Amazon, OTOH, has a huge, dominant, and very profitable service dedicated for just these sort of things, and it would be good if it got some competition.

Well, if you ignore not only App Engine (their PaaS offering), but also the rest of the Google Cloud Platform products -- https://cloud.google.com/products/ https://cloud.google.com/products/ -- sure, I guess you could say that. But, really, you are completely wrong. Google clearly does offer its computing as a product.
