Your example of a "large organization" is the state of Arizona? Australia Post, a tiny regional mail delivery company? What's your definition of "large"?

Also, it's evident they cannot service those customers. Australia Post has a large contract with AWS. Whoops.

I've worked in many large organizations. I've received GCP pitches. I've participated in evaluations of GCP as a technology solution. It's substantially worse than Azure, plus according to their leaked massive losses on the product it'll be shuttered this decade.

Their dashboards are typical Angular heavyweight clunk, with confusing error messages, infinite loading spinners and things break constantly. It's been discussed here extensively. [1]

Their actual decent products (BigQuery) are hamstrung by the rest of the failing platform.

You know for all the shit Microsoft gets here, Azure is pretty amazing to work with. I'm gonna say it.

The best thing that happened for Windows Server and Exchange is Microsoft started to run them at scale in house. Suddenly things that had been complained about for decades magically started getting fixed :)

Yes Australia post, the tiny regional mail carrier that delivers over a million items a day.
