Totally agree. But the docs aren't going to guide their model. Contradiction between the reality of a service, monitoring, and docs don't go to "align with the docs" they go to "align docs to reality"

I don't like this. I too have looked like an attack on their models using things inside the customer-side of google, took special relationships to get over this, an ongoing threat to how we relate to them.

(it's not in GCP btw. different arc of the megaplex)
