Yes, completely agreed. Multi-cloud is really not that difficult nowadays, and it puts you in a better negotiating position (when you end up spending enough to be able to negotiate), as well as giving you more location flexibility and the ability to pick and choose the best services from each cloud.

Oh yes, negotiation is a strong argument in that context. One that makes or breaks a CTO's mission, me thinks, if that company expects a lean path to ROI.
A multi-cloud paradigm is also a great way to teach you about your application and about those clouds themselves. A good reminder that "implementation is where it's at", and "the devil is in the details".
I'd argue you should definitely consider multi-cloud strategy from the get-go indeed in 2022. Something like Terraform helps statically setting k8s clusters on most clouds. Especially for startups, it's better to default to vanilla stuff and only complicate on a need-to basis.
