First and foremost I appreciate the time you spent putting together the article. Feedback is a gift and always welcome.
I'll address your main point: Firebase and GCP.
Over the past decade, developers have consistently turned to Firebase as the fastest way to take their idea to market, thanks to an innovative client-first model and a singular focus on developer experience. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and "opinionated" platform that just works, saving considerable development and maintenance time.
We consciously build some of our services on top of GCP primitives like Cloud Storage and Cloud Functions. This allows us to best apply our team in continuing with our mission, while also making sure that our users never outgrow the platform in any dimension (security, scalability, compliance, etc).
You bring up excellent points as far as our UX and better integration opportunities. My goal is not to necessarily push developers to GCP. The way I see it is that both platforms serve users with different use cases and preferences. Some will use one over the other, and many will use both.
I would love to continue the conversation and I hope you don’t mind if I try to reach out.
