I'd also position this as being up against openshift which is in the managed k8s/hybrid cloud space. Hybrid cloud is definitely a thing as you scale up. For a big enterprise with a significant base load you're paying 5-8 times the cost of on prem for that in a public cloud, so being able to run your own infra for production base load but scale up to the public cloud for dev and burst is a real win. |

Anthos and OpenShift are trying to create a 'PaaS-lite', or maybe Orchestration++ is a way to think about it.
Alot of the K8s vendors are trying to build a complete experience: for both operators and developers. You can use the CNCF's capabilties (K8s, Prometheus, Istio, etc) to build a container orchestration and developer experience.
(Disclaimer - work in this area). Maybe the difference is that OpenShift is quite tightly bound, whereas Anthos is more modular. The complexity is how all the elements are plugged together and the overall life-cycle.
NOTE: Weaveworks builds application platforms built from CNCF technology so I definitely have 'opinions' in this space
