Most folks on HN are part of the startup crowd, and what that crowd misses is that while GCP is technically superior in every way, they have no idea how to sell to an enterprise.
Google's sales method is, "There's the docs, good luck". Enterprises don't like that. They like to be hand held, they like lots of humans taking them out for lunches and dinners.
So far Google has not shown any inclination that they know how to enterprise, and in fact it's fairly counter-cultural for them.
If they learn to sell to the enterprise, I agree with you.
But right now, almost all the money in cloud is with the enterprise, and right now Google has no idea how to address that market.
