A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says "it won't happen anymore", it's insane that there's the possibility of "instant delete everything"

This. Even if by some miracle Google isn't accessing everything on corporate cloud, it is an evil company and the policy can change. It's a very untrustworthy and unreliable base for a business. And I'm not even talking about the fact that businesses that pay for the cloud are financially supporting Google
