Actually particularly shocking that they've sold Google Domains to SquareSpace. I couldn't think of a less aligned company. They deal with novice end users who want to make web sites with minimum technical knowledge but give them premium support. Meanwhile Google Cloud's ideal customers (generally) are engineering heavy, people who want to automate everything with APIs and manage seamless automated operations, but are happy with support from a python script.
The best I can think is that maybe Google did that analysis and found that all the customers for Google Domains were high maintenance novice users so it made sense to sell it off to a business designed to support them?
