GitHub is good, yes? And Excel? And Notion? And Datadog?

Lots of companies with excellent user friendly products.

GCP is good in that regard too, minus IAM.

Care to elaborate why? IMO, GCP's IAM is years ahead of say AWS.

I second that. It's honestly simple. You assign roles (bundling of individual API call permissions) to cloud identities to resources.

I don't think GCP IAM is approachable to the degree that it's other services are. (Better than AWS? Sure.)

A hundreds different "Admin" roles, a bunch of OAuth client stuff, other weird settings.

It's a fundamentally hard problem, but I don't think GCP solved it in an approachable/user-friendly way, which is the topic.
