this doesn't solve the biggest problem with multi-cloud which is data egress though. Even if latency is acceptable you would get killed on data transfer for any significant amount of data. am I missing something?

Nope, spot on. You either cache extremely aggressively with a CDN if you can, or otherwise you eat the data out charges for dynamic data.

This is not multi-cloud as it is commonly defined: Simultaneously handle workloads with multiple cloud vendors, to prevent lock-in to a single vendor. Rather, this is passing workloads between AWS and Google to leverage the advantages of each. A useful strategy, but the title is a bit misleading as it goes against the colloquial definition of multi-cloud.
