Google Cloud Run envy?

AWS has introduced App Runner, with immediate general availability, for quick deployment of container-based applications.
The off-prem titan already offers multiple ways to run containerised applications on its cloud. There is the full-featured EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service); the ECS (Elastic Container Service), the homegrown non-Kubernetes solution; containers up to 10GB can be deployed on Lambda serverless; or there is Fargate, which is a serverless option for either EKS or ECS. Why yet another option?
The focus with App Runner is to further simplify the developer experience, perhaps with an eye on what Google has achieved with its Cloud Run service, complete with an option for one-button deploy from GitHub.
