I can only speak from the perspective of someone who used/admined in all those 3 environments. I'm surprised you ranked google's support above microsoft. I've also seen bugs that would be unusual in other clouds, but other clouds have other pros/cons as well. GCP for example is capable, but it is tedious to use, and even harder to log/audit.
Of all 3 CSPs azure has the best identity management system. they're the worst in terms of charging for critical security measures that should be free, but when you pay for it, none of the other providers even come close to that capability.
The main reason people use Azure is easy integration. You're probably right when it comes to availability, no argument there, except maybe how AWS region outages seem to be a bi-annual holiday.
In practical terms, different CSPs might annoy people differently, but availability aside, I think they all suck in their own special way from a user experience perspective. AWS had to recently tell their devs/engs to have a senior dev review their vibe code because of all the outages it was causing.
The GCP support was fine, not great. For specific problems that you could provide data for and ideally a reproduction they were very good. But if you had feedback or concerns about how something was designed, or a missing feature they were useless (all of support, sales and product)
