> On top of that people finally receive proper support from google once significant sums are involved.
Will they? If my company is now paying $2k/month (where before it was under a free tier) am I really any more likely to get 'proper support' from google? $2k/month is not even a rounding error on a rounding error for google, and will be even less so if all the other users are also paying $2k/month as well.
It would be nice to think that, and I'll change my tune when I see it, but even after working with people who were paying for google cloud platform, I didn't think they we got terribly good support.
