This makes absolute sense when looking at GCP and AWS in isolation.

But Google is at the same time propping up a competitor while Amazon is propping up a purely complementary service.

But Google is very fragmented as I said, what cloud does has little to do with what other parts of Google does. This investment makes sense for cloud so they make it. It is a weakness and a strength of the company, Amazon is much more top down and that leads to other problems.
