AWS provides a registrar too right?

How do they handle this support issue?

Could google keep the domain registrar for GCP instead of dropping it all?

They do. But AWS does provide support and tends to be reasonable at it. Route 53 is dug deep enough into AWS that it doesn't really attract casual users who tend to be disproportionately more expensive to service.

I'm sure GCP could do a similar thing by spinning up a registrar solely for GCP users.

Yes that was my expectations too but then I read that they are also ditching the GCP interface to the registrar
