I'm glad that I'm not alone in that experience (albeit from the development side). A two week turnaround for a development VM would be amazing; on average, we're closer to a month from request to logging in.

I've actually seen some customers span their openstack cluster across on prem & gcp. Giving them the ability to dynamically scale new hypervisor nodes on GCP.
This works great for gaming companies who can see 10x loads during the first few weeks/months of a new video game release.
That being said, not every organization is as dysfunctional.
I think the best approach would be a hybrid one, where developers could spin up instances in the "cloud", and ops would migrate them into the main infrastructure when it made sense to do so.
