The short and sweet of my user story as a hobbyist fullstack developer and wannabe data analyst is AWS has standalone services for your apps that either don't exist on GCP or are better than what GCP offers.
I'm talking about pay-as-you-go compute functions with Lambda (I'm aware that GC Functions are on the way, Lambda has been out for more than a year already), managed Postgres with RDS, and managed task queues with SQS. But GCP's console UX is killer compared to AWS, and using BigQuery feels too good to be true compared to how difficult it is to accomplish the same thing with Hadoop/Spark.
