Google Maps API is still not a comparable kind of business. And Google+ is completely irrelevant.

> I don't think AWS has every really screwed anyone.

The apples-to-apples comparison is not to AWS, but to Amazon. There are plenty of complaints against Amazon for ways they've screwed shoppers, book authors, publishers, etc.

If you want to compare Google Cloud to AWS, you won't have nearly as much to complain about.

It's perfectly reasonable to say you don't want to deal with or depend on Google because they've screwed you in the past. But the claim that there's a serious risk that GCP will suddenly be discontinued is just silly.
