Didn't really know about this platform, but to me it looks like it could perfectly be kept in some kind of read-only mode without costing all that much for Google.

The cost is ongoing maintenance of the code base, reponding to security issues and such, not the server hosting.

Could they open source it? Or does the codebase include Google secrets? I don't know much about this, just wondering...
