Wow, that has got to sting for Google Cloud and Oracle.
Unlike AWS and Azure, Google doesn't offer any GovCloud regions, only Fedramp which seems to apply to unclassified data only.
AWS and Azure also have IL6 regions (able to hold secret information).
Finally AWS runs a top secret cloud for the intelligence community. I believe Azure announced a similar project but not when it’ll be open for business.
I've had demos from GCP sales reps, and the platform is shambolic. It doesn't even work during sales presentations.
Especially when you're Google (our customers aren't as smart as us) competing with Amazon.
Not sure where you’ve gotten this information from. GCP serves many “large organizations” including government agencies [0].

This feels very hyperbolic to me. Either way, demos don’t always work out the way you intend.
Also, it's evident they cannot service those customers. Australia Post has a large contract with AWS. Whoops.
I've worked in many large organizations. I've received GCP pitches. I've participated in evaluations of GCP as a technology solution. It's substantially worse than Azure, plus according to their leaked massive losses on the product it'll be shuttered this decade.

Their dashboards are typical Angular heavyweight clunk, with confusing error messages, infinite loading spinners and things break constantly. It's been discussed here extensively. [1]
Their actual decent products (BigQuery) are hamstrung by the rest of the failing platform.
As for anecdata, the only cloud platform I've heard nothing positive is Azure.
Except the most important part of Twitter -- timelines, of course. [1]

Except the $1 billion contract from AWS, of course. [2]

Multi cloud means cross cloud redundancy, but there's none of that here.

( Their offerings were so bad they were forced to sell their vSphere as a service arm to a low cost hosting provider. Even with the popularity of that dumpster fire in DCs and most companies moving away from DCs they still couldn't capture any market share)
