I think my comment was conflated with others' sentiments about Google killing their RSS reader and other products. That is not my rationale at all. My hesitance for using Google Cloud or AWS stems from my mistrust of these behemoths and their track record of baseless censorship. From what I have seen, both of these companies have stepped out of their place as neutral platforms.
I understand not all large companies have the luxury of picking their service providers but I do believe it's in everyone's best interest to diversify web service infrastructure. One, to hedge against catastrophic failures that may arise from their platform going down and two, to better balance the distribution of power on the internet as a whole.
