Honestly I wouldn't worry about it, if anything Google Cloud just raised the profile of every BI product out there.
I work very closely with the Google Cloud team as a technology partner. With the recent hire of Thomas Kurian he has to make a big splash at Google while good will is forthcoming and I expect he will continue to authorize significant acquisitions to help build out their cloud to compete with Azure/AWS. The next piece of the puzzle will be an integration platform to help bring it all together.
