Strongly disagree.

Kubernetes is not a Google product. But it is "a" product, and it was successfully launched as a commoditize-your-complement / cannibalize-yourself kind of thing.

GKE meanwhile is a Google product, and is successful, and wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Kubernetes.

Just because you have the option to pay for a free service isn't the criteria for being a product. There are tons of managed kubernetes services you can pay for just like you can pay for managed redis or elasticsearch.

That’s the product. Not kubernetes. Amazon and Azure offer kuberbetes too.
