You have to realize they have been consistently cutting prices (and pulling Google and somewhat Azure) along with them.

I think you misinterpret the causality of recent cloud price drops: Google's price drops at year pushed AWS to follow suit, and they haven't matched since (the gap is greater than 20% for GCE vs EC2 now). Microsoft is also publicly committed to matching AWS.
Huge Disclaimer: I work at Google on GCE.

Well, given that Google's support consists of an automatic E-mail reply bot, I wonder why the gap is only 20%.

You mean our Free / Bronze support listed here: https://cloud.google.com/support/ ? As people have mentioned on several threads, Google Cloud is actually a business so there are actual support people paid to help when you need it.
