I used GCP for 2 years. It did it's job. I hate the predatory nature of Amazon but I am blown away by their customer service and their help for our startup.

I eventually decided to do away with GCP and moved to a cheaper cloud where the head of sales was a phone call away.

The reason has to do with what you mentioned: One of the previous startup where I worked was completely shut down because one of the employees had a banned account and he signed in into company gsuite. Google banned the startup's play dev account.

I also have the unfortunate experience of getting banned by Google. around 10 years ago they started banning anyone that used paypal and not google pay or something like that. I had linked paypal and google launched google pay and starting banning anyone that didnt use google pay. I didnt care about their deadlines and just ignored their email until I woke up to everything banned.

I still used GCP with my banned play dev account but they suddenly banned by adsense account after 8 years due to banned play dev account.

I had enough of their shit and just decided to move.
