AWS would beg to differ.

However, Amazon has been very good at not getting rid of AWS services so it's reputation is that it's at scale services are going to stay safe.

Maybe to clarify better, it's the bunches of ancillary products and services I'm talking about. Core items like AWS and Google Cloud are of course by definition going to require an inherent scalability to be meaningful.
AWS is not a single service but a large collection of separate services that interconnect. Some of which are quiet old and not exactly cutting edge. Yet they don't get deprecated.
You could say the exact same thing about Google Cloud. What I'm more talking about is stuff like Google Keep, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Kubernetes, Istio, etc. etc.
