I've been trying very hard to sell that idea to my team.

But no, they insist on using every product the different cloud providers offers. This, IMO, is a recipe to lock yourself to vendors and make maintenance and interoperability a nightmare.

It feels like when devs felt they had to use all the gang of four design patterns.

You need to follow some engineering standard. If your engineering org is not optimising away vendor lockin, blocking someone from using tailored-feature-number-367 is unlikely to have any positive effect and you'll just make everyone move slower. If avoiding vendor lock-in is something the org cares about and is doing properly, yeah sure, enforce it, otherwise I've seen many people fighting windmills on this and bikeshedding about "not getting locked-in" when effectively many other things already lock you into that vendor.
