So much this.

It's absolutely amazing how hostile Google is to releasing billing options that are reasonable, controllable, or even fucking understandable.

I want to do relatively simple things like:

1. Buy shit from you

2. For a controllable amount (ex - let me pick a limit on costs)

3. Without spending literally HOURS trying to understand 17 different fucking products, all overlapping, with myriad project configs, api keys that should work, then don't actually work, even though the billing links to the same damn api key page, and says it should work.

And frankly - you can't do any of it. No controls (at best delayed alerts). No clear access. No real product differentiation pages. No guides or onboarding pages to simplify the matter. No support. SHIT LOADS of completely incorrect and outdated docs, that link to dead pages, or say incorrect things.

So I won't buy shit from them. Period.

Exact reason I used none of these platforms for my personal projects, ever.

Who is comparing to AWS and why? They can both be terrible at the same time, you know.
