You work for Google or something? I've been in an out of a ton of IT departments and I'm just reporting what I've seen. I've honestly never done a real evaluation of GCP as a whole. Only Firebase. From what I've seen first-hand, AWS is the default choice. Azure has substantial market share, particularly among orgs that are already bought into the Microsoft stack. GCP just doesn't have a strong story to tell. I should also say that I pretty commonly see senior IT decision makers just make arbitrary decisions.

I don't work for google, nor does your attempt to switch to personal attacks change any of the points I made. In fact not only do your assertions sound heavily biased, you now admit that you never done a real evaluation of a service you're criticising. Frankly I don't care if X or Y has more market share, but people making baseless assertions regarding stuff they have no experience or knowledge in simply add noise to a discussion that's expected to be insightful.

I didn't say anything about GCP's quality and I don't know why you think I'm demeaning it. I'm just saying I have not seen any IT org that was heavily invested. I have seen a bunch using this or that feature (Firebase or AI/ML services) enough to be mentioned as a client but none that use it as their primary infrastructure. My point being that just because they have an impressive list of clients doesn't mean they're winning anything. And winning is not necessarily correlated to the quality of their product.
