The providers are maintained by dedicated teams of Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Hashicorp themselves, other big corps.

Pulumi abstractions are updated by a single corpo team.

Ill be EXTREMELY surprised if they wont laaaggg alot more behind when they start supporting more and more platforms.

Its simply a matter of amount of ppl working on the tool.

Agreed in principle. In this instance they have basically rigged up a machine to poll and parse the GCP API Discovery service into a native provider. https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/using

It’s promise is sustainably same-day parity with platform APIs. It is generated code, so it may not be semantically pleasing, but it should just work. I haven’t spent much time with it to form a nuanced opinion but I do think it’s a novel and reasonable approach.
