A better comparison would be between Azure and GCP, both of them provide office suite (SAAS) to customers.

Google recently released its side of the numbers (https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/inside-google-cloud/how...)

From the link, Google has seen the following for Meet usage:

“Over the last few weeks, Meet’s day-over-day growth surpassed 60%, and as a result, its daily usage is more than 25 times what it was in January. Despite this growth, the demand has been well within the bounds of our network’s ability.”

AWS also provides office suite to customers: WorkMail, WorkDocs, Chime messaging, etc.

Are they even in the same league as O365 and G-suite, usage wise?

Only asking because I'd never heard of these services before

Are G-suite even in the same league as O365? I have no numbers and might be incredibly biased by location but I feel that all the "boring" office companies in Europe has moved towards Office 365 as a natural step.

That is of course not true and I'm sure there are plenty of G-suite companies but for the large ones it seems very common that they have just followed Microsoft into the cloud.
