I worked at a place that did an AWS to GCP migration. I didn't look into the details, but they used a provider that basically gave them a fat, dedicated fiber link between the two (they picked the same GCP region). It was good enough that requests could have data cross clouds. It was expensive to set up, but it saved on egress costs and opened up options for migrating services.

I believe the relevant GCP product is "Dedicated Interconnect" and for Azure it's "ExpressRoute Direct" but don't quote me on that; I only know AWS. In my example you can swap out the Internet port for one of those cloud interconnects and go straight from AWS to your new cloud. That's certainly what that provider was doing. I bet there's lots of good money in facilitating those migrations using this relatively simple technique.
