I see so many comments from people saying they'll jump ship if Google adds this to Chrome. They'll move over to Firefox right away. But the thing most people don't know is one reason Google has such a broad reach is they make it so crazy easy to integrate their services for developers.
So, yes, users who dislike what they're doing should stop using Google products if possible. But, more importantly, developers or project managers, etc. should all resist the urge to utilize this kind of feature even if it's easy.
What do you mean? Gcloud is definitely not "easy" when compared to others like AWS. Also I think it's common sense to avoid google products because they tend to abandon ship in a few years.
This kind of feature is likely to be cloud agnostic, so Gcloud vs AWS isn't really what's up for debate.
They're likely referencing the ease of adding something like google analytics to a website, where you include a url in the code for a page and you're done.
