Google was already considered unlikely to win before its withdrawal, so I'd be hesitant to attribute the withdrawal primarily to this.

Unlike AWS and Azure, Google doesn't offer any GovCloud regions, only Fedramp which seems to apply to unclassified data only.

If GCP have fedramp high that’s roughly equivalent to AWS govcloud (fedramp high ~= IL4).

AWS and Azure also have IL6 regions (able to hold secret information).

Finally AWS runs a top secret cloud for the intelligence community. I believe Azure announced a similar project but not when it’ll be open for business.
