I'd argue that developer experience on AWS is better. I work on both. Two things stand out for me:

Serverless lambdas on AWS are more functional. Google does not have comparable functionality yet.

Auth and IAM permissions are far more configurable on AWS. Google's ACL does not have the same depth of tools there. Making the ACL do the same thing as AWS's IAM generally feels cludgy and a pain.

Working with AWS there is a deep ecosystem of tools there and I only use maybe 30%. Working with Google, there often are tools and logging missing that I took for granted in AWS.

What feature do lambdas have that cloud functions don't? (asking not challenging)

Never used lambdas but the fact that gcloud functions allow python imports make them pretty versatile from what I can tell
