I think by attributing it do incompetence you're missing the incentives problem.

Others point this out, but Google just has no incentives to improve this UX. Think about who makes the decisions to use Google cloud and what criteria they are using.

The snappiness of the gcp ui is not likely to be near the top of their list

DigitalOcean built a big business off of easy to use cloud hosting.

Yes but I don't know that they have much success convincing already huge companies to switch to their cloud

B2 large business is different than b2c or b2 small business

It's all about who is making the decisions

No incentive? AWS is crushing them, the UI is the product.
