I feel like GCP's losing ground to AWS and Azure has been a trend for at least before AI, though perhaps you're saying the same thing, that Google has long lost the reputational lead.

I can't speak from experience, but what I hear from friends of friends is that Azure is really on the come up, though in my experience AWS has still been the default. GCP seemed to be more tempting when they were the only ones throwing tons of money at you and Firebase had less alternatives.

Azure has tons of Microsoft-entrenched enterprises where discounts on Office 365 are a valid argument for choosing the entire cloud stack.
Azure is giving out a lot of credits, I mean in the millions on some of the big contracts.
