I’ve worked in the industry of SaaS vs. Enterprise long enough to see Google Cloud (with all its compute power) get turned down because it requires the corporation to share its data.

In my experience, most customers end up trusting at least one cloud vendor. If not GCP (which does not have regions in France for example), they will trust Azure or AWS (who do). If they are a big e-commerce company, they will hate AWS but go to Azure, etc.
The reason is mostly the human cost of maintaining infrastructure, and the global lack of good people have the knowledge to do so.
Edit: Trusting hundreds of SaaS vendors vs. one major cloud platform is another debate though.
Not in the financial industry AFAIK.
Saving costs is a major drive, I agree...
