The '22-laws-of-marketing' are not 'laws' - they're just called that by profs trying to hustle a book.
It's a great book that everyone, especially Engineers should read, but it's not necessarily factual.
There can be many 'leaders' it depends on the industry.
Google is no slouch, they have a differentiated offer that may appeal to different kinds of orgs, particularly startups.

They need virtual instances in quantity and classic, straight forward easy ways to manage them. Not fancy new cloud gear.
Cloud is big, and there's a lot of growth, moreover, as more services go cloud and we move away from legacy installations ... Google might even possibly have an advantage.
