Currently, we build the kernel containing modules and firmware, but the firmware is not needed for the cloud images, like GCP, AWS, Azure and so on.

Removing firmware when building cloud images also helps to increase startup speed, especially when decompressing the initrd.

AWS AMI is a special case. It is built differently than other images.
