Agreed - it was senseless. SNS/SQS aren't particularly complex and they scale like crazy. Kinesis is something else entirely (N-hour record retention w/arbitrary consumers and offsets) and doesn't even belong in the comparison.

Do Google's core products actually run on GCP these days? I was under the impression they do not.

Not really. They are influenced by, but the same, code as runs Google. (for instance, Kubernetes is based on Borg)
