I think GV investing $20 million on them helps too:

GV is not partial to a particular cloud vendor. They do not push GCP onto the startups they invest in.

Do the start-ups that they invest in get discounts/credits/a better rate though? They might not push GCP, but they may give incentives.

Certainly doesn't hurt the recipients view of other Google offerings.
