I don't think banning GCE, AWS and MS Azure is an efficient method to significantly increase the cost of attacks because it is trivial for an attacker to quickly spin up "a large number of disposable machines" at other ISPs as well.

It has other benefits. Those big providers see a huge amount of exit traffic and can potentially do correlation against that.
