When, up until recently, not even Google was willing to cover their own load balancer under their BAA.

The load balancer is a shared resource. Your data is being decrypted and re-encrypted in a shared memory space with all other customer's data. Consider the issue CloudFlare customers faced recently [1].

Google Cloud has probably industry's highest security standards in place [0] . Getting governing bodies to sign off on their accreditations is a very separate issue.
