Isn't one of the foundational problems of GCP that it's not really core to Google themselves?

AWS is basically the same infra Amazon runs their own business on, opened up for the world to use.

Azure is the backbone that Microsoft sells you all their cloudified Office/Outlook/etc suite of tools.

GCP is neither of those things to Google.
