What explains why Amazon has been relatively open about Nitro but Google has never said anything about how their NICs and SSDs work? It can't be because it's secret sauce; Amazon beats them on latency etc.

We've been fairly open about how Google Cloud Networking works -- https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi18/presentation/dalton

There's also some more recent coverage on IPUs that I don't have a handy link to.

Ah, no, the fairly was merely that we omitted details and some things have changed. That said, the paper completely captures the use of Lanai in GCP's networking data plane.
