BigQuery specifically pioneered many of these concepts since it's release in 2012 - "serverless manageability", pay-per-query consumption-based pricing, pure separation of compute and storage (no intermediate ssh mesh), and more recently separation of compute and intermediate state (wonders for scalability and complex query performance).

Separation of compute and storage has been around since before Google was even relevant as a company (see NFS).

If you think bigquery pioneered all of these concepts then your team did a very poor job of researching prior art. Maybe that was intentional for a good green-field design, but it's certainly not pioneering at that point.
