I... don't think you know what S3 is. Or maybe what FTP is.
(Also S3, EC2, RDS, etc. were named long before GCP had competing services)
All of these make sense.
If you're gonna complain about names, at least pick the really sucky ones, like Athena, Snowball, etc.
Do you know how many non-technical CEOs/boards/bosses have told their tech people that they need to go multi-region/cloud because that's what the one-paragraph blog and/or tweet told them to do in response to last weeks event?
