Sounds like they're trying to technically address EU regulators' concerns without providing any real value to customers.

In real life it's probably extremely unusual for any company to altogether cancel their Google Cloud contract. More likely is the scenario where you move the bulk of your cloud usage to a new provider, but still have various straggler infrastructure on the old one, which is not worth the effort to clean up. Or, you go to a multi-cloud strategy so you want to move half your data off Google but keep the other half around. Google's egress fees are still standing in the way of these cases.

Yep, for a sufficiently large account, this strikes me as an offer they know will never be taken. "Migrating" typically means "stopping $XXX,XXX spend per month" not "completely ceasing use of all GCE services."

They know this and this is mainly marketing, I think.

You migrate use cases, not entire environments!
