You'd assume that, but then you've not had the misfortune of using Google Cloud. "Because fuck you, that's why." -- Sundar Pichai.

The big benefit of AWS Linux and Azure Linux is they start up really really quickly on their respective platforms, so if you've an app to run that's fairly platform agnostic then it's easy to deploy at scale. If it's not very platform agnostic then you're in for a world of pain. AL2023 in particular seems to just rename all the packages differently from any other distro just for the fun of it.
