I've not used API Gateway, but I believe Microsoft support invoking their 'Azure Functions' style lambda service via HTTP calls

You can do that with Lambda as well. The API Gateway is an abstraction in front of that giving you more control then connecting to Lambda directly.

I tried to build a serverless contact form by hooking up AWS Lambda function into S3 HTTP API event source and it's hard to configure and not working well. In any case it's not an alternative to HTTP Request triggers in Google Cloud Functions or Azure Functions.
