Google invested 1B to Lyft, but Lyft used AWS for cloud compute. (I left Lyft in 2021, could be different now)

Investment department and cloud compute departments are very different entities and if the investment to Antropic was not a part of the Google cloud expansion strategy moving to a new cloud is such a pain, that noone will do it.

Opposite example is Kaggle. Google bought it as a marketing tool for Google Cloud => all the years since acquisition Kaggle team worked on adding differnt Google Cloud features to the platform
