While yes, it was more than ten years ago, we can see that such stupidity is woven into their DNA as a company.
TL;DR: where a cloud provider hosts customers for which there are real-world consequences for data leakage, not a single customer can be at-risk for data leakage. It's a different line of thinking, almost "a different world", to those who have this line of thinking vs those who do.
"The thing about reputations is you only have one".
By contrast even more than ten years before that, AWS was publishing whitepapers about how all contents of RAM to be used by a VM are initialized before a VM is provisioned, and other efforts to proactively scrub customer data.
I worked at a niche cloud provider a bit over ten years ago. We used Intel QAT for client-side encryption for our network attached pools of SSD. We were able to offer all-SSD at low cost and without security blindspots by crypto key rotation implemented by compartmentalized teams and also physical infrastructure compartmentalization patterns. Which, about half a decade later we found we were second only to AWS and almost second (but ahead of in other ways) to some smaller cloud-style hosting provider.

I don't know if it really meets that bar, but I won't argue about that right now. I'm just going to ask again for your definition of "real cloud" and whether you can suggest some that don't price gouge bandwidth (and aren't oracle, I would not consider them worthy of trust either).

Even from all the way over here, I infer that I think we're from so different worlds that what "real cloud" means to my side of the world isn't a part of your world.
What I can tell you, is AWS is the king of cloud, Google Cloud is a very very distant 2nd place, and Azure is an event more distant 3rd place.
