By 2025, they will dominate. I have used it, it is better, and slowly but surely people are moving to Google cloud.

Yes, the myth of tech superiority. Just like MS DOS, Windows, Android or the web stack won by being superior.

AWS is bigger and growing at least at the same rate.

where lies a myth? It's customer needs vs. tech that wins.

I agree, I personally don't think it's a valid myth. As you said, the customer overall knows what he wants, and he doesn't want technical (or ideological, in the case of Free Software) purity.

I was just pointing out that because techies consider something superior (ergo the myth), it doesn't necessarily "win". Plus in this case I think it's really, really hard to argue that GCP is superior to AWS.
