I sort of explained my thought process above but I suspect they've done it this way for "cdn things"

It's not great, there's certainly a way to secure it, but like many other solutions - stuff it in a storage bucket with a "random" url is "good enough" in the eyes of the platform.



No disagreement here, that must be why they do it. But most CDNs e.g. S3 handle expiry in their signed URL implementations.
