There's a decent chance that in a few years GCP will be no more.

I had an argument with one of the biggest investors in Google a few years ago, in which I was predicting exactly this scenario. He didn't believe me.

Perhaps I was right after all.

GCP lost a ton of money since its inception. Its leadership is so far away from being able to run this business properly, that I would never recommend anyone to put all their eggs on GCP.

Plus, as your company scales, you should REDUCE, not increase, your cloud usage, in favor of a properly optimized on-prem.

Well, just my 0.02. What do I know, right?
