I had the same thought. I guess a lot of those keys may belong to dormant/deleted accounts and only a % of people who have enabled Gemini (presumably it required user action)

I did. Specifically the part about "When you enable the Gemini API". This doesn't take into account that people may have had years old forgotten about other services they use.

Either way it requires action, there is nothing to presume about that

Fair enough. It's a reasonable expectation of someone that enabled Google maps 15 years ago that enables Gemini 6 months not to understand the fundamentals of how Google treats their keys. If it wasn't explained on the enabling Gemini screen, what do you expect the user to do.

Totally agreed. But it clearly requires user action. I have some old projects that only use Google Maps for websites and that wouldn't magically be impacted. Google needs to do better though
