This isn't the 1st time GCP has re-evaluated pricing. I wouldn't conclude that it's "over". Seems to just be how they work.
E.g. a few months ago pricing of cloud storage was "changed".

Once you do it enough times it removes any pretence that these increases were one off and establishes it clearly that products are not sensibly priced and prices would increase when the time to drop the hammer comes.
Tell us more - what specifically is better value and by how much?
AWS and Azure storage costs are roughly the same at the list prices. Some SKU unit costs are a bit cheaper on Azure, but you could also probably realize the same difference through other means using slightly different AWS SKUs. Overall, they feel pretty comparable. (Disclaimer: I haven't run the full price comparison. This is only based on comparing the most common SKUs at list price)
But GCP now feels significantly higher in storage costs than both AWS and Azure. I mean significant more in the statistical sense -- the difference might be small for many use-cases, but it's very likely that GCP storage is more expensive for almost all users and all use-cases now.
