API keys for Firebase. While Google really messed up here, I doubt they ever published anything claiming that no Google API keys at all are secrets.

Google Maps is not Firebase.

And "Firebase AI Logic" sure sounds like something easy to confuse with a Firebase service...

The same principle applies, though.

I'm absolutely not defending Google here, to be clear: Retroactively expanding the scope of an API "key" explicitly designated as "public/non-sensitive" is very bad.

But the concept itself does make some sense, and I'm just noting that there's precedent both across Google and other companies.
