Configuration change being the most likely cause of outage is true across all post mortems, not solely Google's. It feels like you're blaming them for not solving something that no-one else knows how to solve either. Facebook outage, Salesforce, Azure, it's all configs.

Well the OP said he becomes more confident in GCP, that's why I said this... My personal experience working at Amazon and Google told me that Google's engineering culture and practice are setup to a slightly different scenario than AWS. So if we assure cloud is more of an AWS defined business, than GCP seems are catching up, but not as fast as I would have hoped for.
