Won't Big Tech's cloud services eventually outrival smaller cloud companies (Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, etc)?

I have this same question.

1. Given enough time, won't Big Tech's cloud services (namely Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) outrank or overtake these smaller cloud companies and offer the same services?

2. How do these smaller cloud companies differ? How did they even crop up into existence? I'm dumbfounded Big Tech didn't acquire them when they were starting to crush them. Why haven't Big Tech acquired them now?
