I don't think that's an accurate statement. Google Cloud and Azure have broad offerings, and in many cases eclipse AWS (ex: Big Data, ML, pricing, BI, NoSQL, Hadoop/Spark, containers, and even things like load balancers and persistent storage).

I think he meant services other than the big one. In that case he's right. But the point is most people aren't using those services - they use AWS as a glorified dumb dedicated hosting provider. And that's exactly the wrong way to use it.
