Any bets on how long until Google Cloud is fully deprecated? If I was a customer I'd be very nervous right about now.
Seriously, customers don’t care about the internal nuance of how things are organized. They care that a very foundational piece of a cloud service provider will suddenly be not available.
It seems like you're saying that since Cloud Domains relies on Google Domains which wasn't organizationally part of GCP (even though there's no way a user would have known that) it is acceptable to shut down Cloud Domains when Google Domains is shut down and that doesn't mean that google isn't committed to supporting GCP.
This argument is just completely baffling to me.
If it turns out that Compute Engine relies on some internal services that aren't organizationally part of GCP does that mean it's fine for google to shut down Compute Engine as well?
I’m still wary of trusting aws. They discontinued cloud drive, and blocked existing users’ backup setups.
(The current service of that name does not support the same things the old service did.)
Then again, that customer is probably a big spender, so the account manager can rest his damaged limbs on piles of money.

Not in the slightest.
So far.
Amazon Cloud Drive is/was a consumer product. AWS’s legacy support reputation has been (as others have noted) incredible.
Actions speak louder than words.
