I agree. This is the one thing I find easier on GCP than AWS, taking total control over a GCP environment I'm about to enter is much faster and less confusing. It's irritating that I need old accounts to do exports but usually I can reset credentials on some old ones and find one with MFA I can bypass.
But it's still a rather nasty environment to handle, as is all the big clowns. There's lock-in, confusing products, lots of general weirdness. Unless the corporation I'm taking control over has exercised discipline and restraint and stuck to a rig with simple EC2 instances every project makes me hate them more.
As far as I can tell the way to go if you enjoy this kind of operating environment is to buy on-prem OpenShift. The guys I've met that run that seem to think it's the lesser evil.
