> But also, and may more important, you get to see everyones cloud usage, across all providers

Yeah - that’s not likely to happen. Even the current in-house developed multi-cloud security stuff Google has doesn’t let internal people see customer data. It’s right there in the T&Cs they publish and agree to.

I suppose they could be violating them in egregious ways, but that wouldn’t last long before one or more of the 170,000 employees got upset and went all whistleblower, which would lead to billions of dollars in lawsuits.

There are ways around it. If they look into specific customer's usage it is looking at customer data. If they look at more customers it will just be called anonymous analytics.

Then you slice and dice the analytics data to extract what you need in the name of planning & improving the product.
