Amazon runs nothing, it's an outsourcing firm. They needed to make services "good enough" to be sold. If a service is somewhat inefficient, it just charges the clients more to cover the costs.
Technologies reflect the business they were created in.
What the fuck are you talking about. It's one thing to say AWS services are "good enough" but "Amazon runs nothing" is a ridiculous statement.
I suspect that Google knows this, and their reputation for have poor customer support and sales comes from that knowledge.
