Huh? Google's internal developer experience has little to do with the external APIs and UIs people use to access AWS and Azure (whose product equivalent would be Google Cloud Platform).
I'm not sure why you think it's easier to do stuff with AWS or Azure; all three platforms support roughly the same baseline set of features and most other issues are matters of preference or arguably valid alternatives
(1) Going back to the origin of AWS, AWS came out of internal infrastructure that AMZN developed for itself. So it is all about the dogfood.
(2) When I was doing a shootout of 8 machine vision APIs, I got all the other ones working in less than 20 minutes. Google took 2 hours because installing the Python API trashed my Python installation
(3) I hear similar stories from other devs who've attempt to do things with GCP.
(4) There is another story about Google which is that they're not very productive internally, it takes them forever to develop features, they hire 150 IQ developers and get 115 IQ performance out of them because they waste 35 points of cognitive capacity on bad tools. They think it's OK because it proves they only hire the best.

your #2 doesn't even make sense, provide a repro
your #3: cool anecdote brow
your #4: that's just ad hominem and weakens your argument.
