This really does seem like a shortsighted move given they’re seemingly pretty serious about Google Cloud, and their Maps Platform is apparently part of that: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform
AFAIK AWS has never increased their prices for anything ever, Google Cloud once increased the price of a service by 1400%. That takes Google Cloud out of consideration for me for anything I don’t want to have to or can’t (because of vendor lock-in) move to another service with very little notice.
