I get the feeling that Google have resigned themselves to being also-rans in the actual provision of cloud services (5% market share growth in the last three years, compared to 14% for Microsoft and 12% AWS - source), and instead are trying position themselves to take control of how people use those services - much as they did with desktop PCs and browsers/web searching.
