AWS has more services but they also come out with improvements and newer services much more often than GCC. GCC/GCE is very exciting but AWS is miles head right now. Open source libraries and documentation available for AWS in a wide range of languages is reason alone for a lot of people to prefer it over Google's.

I find Google Cloud miles ahead of AWS. AWS does not play well with open source services. Google on other hand embraces OpenSources (Google OpenSourced Kubernetes, Dataflow, TensorFlow, MagLev the load balancer, integration with OpenStack ... ). This reduces your risk of vendor lock-in. I have not seen AWS OpenSoruce a single Cloud service.
