CAC login is for web only in most cases.
I got into computing just as OS X launched. I installed every version with great anticipation. A ritual with my Mac geek friends every year.
I feel we have lost that excitement in todays world.
Most devops folks are former sysadmins with no developer experience.
The tools needed to be able to be picked up quickly without too much pain.
This is why our devops tooling in popular usage is not as robust as developer tools.

Google has demonstrated a culture of killing off services. https://www.thestack.technology/google-cloud-iot-core-retire...
Amazon, on the consumer side has many canceled products. On the AWS side they have demonstrated a commitment to keeping old services alive.
So on a surface level, your analysis holds up. But where Amazon has earned some goodwill by supporting even barely used services, Google has not.
Perhaps they will given time, as GCP is fairly new. But when you are talking tens of millions of dollars in spend, reputation matters.
We are talking about the Cloud.
Amazon supports most stuff roughly forever.
Short term thinking is why we are always on the knife’s edge of crisis.
