I disagree. They could have done this to themselves and instead of fessing up, are placing the blame on an entity as a scapegoat.

Is that possible? Absolutely.

Has Google also done similar things before? Absolutely.

I certainly wouldn't bet my house on either possiblity.

Given that Railway publicly boasted about running their own infra, revealing that they were completely and totally dependent on GCP is massively damaging to their PR, far more damaging than admitting they had a problem in their own infra. Their customers are using them under the pretense of not using GCP, so if they're just a proxy for GCP, they have no reason to exist. I seriously doubt they concocted such a self-damaging lie.
