Better sales story AND marketing.

Look at the names themselves CloudStorage Vs Redshift/s3, ComputeEngine Vs EC2. Cookies vs. Oreo.

AWS service names are a brand in themselves while Google service names are too generic.

We internally use our three letter acronyms all the time: GCS, GCE, GAE, GKE (which itself is a pretty clever joke about the K being for Kubernetes).
