This is specific to moving a largish companies data to the cloud. Typically, nobody wants to move it all at once. They want to move one thing first. Think like a trucking company. They have databases of customers, drivers, equipment, orders, invoices, quotes, etc, etc. With the current model where egress traffic is priced so high, it's difficult to move one of those subject areas to the cloud. The reason is because none of them act like an island. They are used together. So unless you move it all at once, huge amounts of data go back and forth all day long.
Not every customer with concerns is just someone that needs to be educated about how awesome Google is :) I do like Spanner. I'm just pointing out a barrier to adoption.
