I don't know for all options in the category but Scaleway offers a viable alternative to EC2, EBS, Lambda, S3, EKS, ECR, CloudFront and many more (although IAM is still lacking depth). OVHCloud also has a Public Cloud offer than differ from their baremetal offer (the plain old server one) but IMO it's lacking compared to Scaleway. I've heard good about UpCloud and Exoscale but never tried them myself.
I do think integration with compliance vendors and marketplace offers are two things where these providers are lacking but I'd be curious what you find is lacking to qualify them as "real clouds".
