Can we also say the same thing for GKE and Google Cloud since it is also a Google service?

Google's behavior has convinced me that it's perfectly OK to use their services, as long as you don't rely on them. They may terminate your account at no notice, or announce that a service is shutting down or adopting an unworkable pricing scheme at what would be reasonable notice to an individual, but is not acceptable to a business.
The worst things seem to happen randomly. They happen to a small percentage, perhaps even a small absolute number of their customers -- but they do happen, and there is no recourse.
But it's generally a bad idea to rely in any capacity on products marketed to consumers (not B2B) by Google, even Workspace I feel iffy on using, as you can be locked out on everything at any time.

Of course, I'm too lazy to find the source now, but I remember it was here in Hacker News.

To clarify the context though, it wasn't a comment, but what was supposed to be an internal memo. However, since I can't find a single trace of this either here or elsewhere, I retract my comment and admit I may just have had too much crack one night.
