AWS to Begin Charging for Public IPv4 Addresses

Honestly, I really like that the AWS implementation is not magic. AWS is the only one of the big 3 cloud providers where I can reasonably assume I get what it says on the lid, and that it works with the pieces it advertises working with (whereas other cloud providers tend to be more nebulous in their documentation).

GCP especially takes a lot more trial and error building systems that compose a bunch of different primitives. That the API is awful doesn't help either.

I agree with this, having built large dev platforms on both. GCP in my experience takes 2-5x the engineering effort, to deal with "GCPisms" and the terrible documentation. AWS is simpler and does what it says most of the time.
