Big Enterprises need alot of bells and whistles and for the longest time, Google Cloud didn't have those bells and whistles. For example, App Engine for longest time didn't have internal IP only. It has it's now but whole point, most people have already evaluated their cloud and picked it.
Also, Google used to be or still is terrible at talking to customers. Big Enterprises require people at Google to actually talk to customers, something Google is notoriously terrible at.
