OP has a fair assessment. It's an unfair defense. Whenever I've relied on Google, I eventually got !@#$%.

I've never had that problem with Amazon. Microsoft also doesn't do it much these days. This is really specific to Google (and Oracle; but Oracle !@#$% in the wallet, but at least realizes driving customers out-of-business is bad for business).

Not all GCP customers will be !@#$% here, but many will. People who rely on Google inevitably regret it at some point.
