GKE is just as "free" as DO, in that you only pay for the nodes you actually use (those nodes are probably a bit more expensive, admittedly). EKS is the outlier in this trio in that you also have to pay (a lot) for the master. Could you clarify what GKE could do to "follow suit"?

It seems, nothing! I was just wrong about GKE being expensive, not sure why I thought that (though it seems that until late 2017 they did have costs per cluster).
