One price increase for a beta product hardly makes for a habit of increasing prices. If anything, prices in cloud computing have continuously been getting lower across the entire industry, and with margins being fairly large and the market getting more and more competitive, I imagine that trend will continue.
If they'd wanted to increase prices for the premium tier, this would've been the time to do so. Instead, the kept the prices roughly the same, with small savings for some scenarios and a tiny increase for edge-cases, while introducing a cheaper tier that has feature parity with the competition and is quite a bit cheaper. Whatever your past issues with Google, I think you're way off on this.
