GCP (Google) Leading AWS (Amazon)?

Casual review of top careers with Kubernetes in the job description today and all of them list GCP skills. About 70% list AWS. There is clearly a shift going on and after sampling GCP the other day very briefly I understand why. GCP’s interface at almost every level blows away AWS, which is fighting the technical debt of being the leader for so long. I know of (internal/private) decisions of large multinational companies with major initiatives going to GCP. They all have some AWS as well, but all the new modern internal activity is based on GCP. I have enough data to make my decision. I’m not learning any Amazon, only GCP (for now). Learning a single cloud provider is a massive undertaking. I just don’t have time to keep current on all of them (even though I could cross-train if needed).
