GCP is the world's third largest cloud provider, and has around half of AWS' market share. Claiming no one uses it reads like Yogi Berra's "no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded".
Isn't that including things like google workspace and similar? Both Azure and GCP have sometimes included things that most people think of as unrelated SaaS (office 365, gsuite/workspace) to make themselves look bigger in the cloud sector.

AWS also includes Amazon WorkSpaces. Moreover, AWS includes all of Amazon's cloud infrastructure for things like Amazon music, Ring, Amazon Prime Video, etc.
But as a percentage of revenue I'd assume those are a lot smaller than Office365 is for microsoft and Workspace is for google.
Last I checked I don't think AWS included things like Amazon Prime Video either, AWS is primarily their buissness/platform offerings, not consumer things like Twitch/Prime/Music/etc.
