Without digging into it, I don't understand how people can run "multi-cloud" while using the most valuable IaaS that each provider gives - serverless.
Maybe if people are spinning up simple VMs and VPCs they can manage multicloud through a hub, but if you're using the big three for what they're meant for, you're using cloud DBs, API gateways, lambdas, and whatnot. With how much tuning, billing monitoring and specific configuration is needed, it seems like that'd be a hard thing to abstract. Even using an abstraction like Terraform to try to keep out of the weeds takes a lot of work, from what I remember five years ago.
