I concur.

Currently, I am working on projects that use both Amazon and Google clouds.

In my experience, AWS requires more planning and administration to handle the full workflow: uploading data; organisation in S3; partitioning data sets; compute loads (EMR-bound vs. Redshift-bound vs. Spark (SQL) bound); establishing and monitoring quotas; cost attribution to different internal profit centres; etc.

GCP is - in a few small ways - less fussy to deal with.

Also, GCP console - itself not very great - is much easier to use and operate than AWS console.

Of course, YMMV!
