Wow. Do you happen to know if that just for API-based usage, or for downloads too?

> The Google Fonts API currently does not support requesting the inclusion of optional (also known as discretionary, or opt-in) OpenType Features, such as Stylistic Sets (salt) or Small Caps (smcp, c2sc). Instead the glyphs contained in these features may be published as a separate family… https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/requirements.html#ope...

I think that might depend on particular font, but from what I tested, manually downloaded fonts do include OpenType features like smcp or swsh

Sometimes they might also ship outdated versions, e.g. the last released version of Fira Sans is 4.301, but Google still only serves version 4.203. Plus technically Fira Sans has been superseded by Fira Go, which includes additional scripts, but Google doesn't offer that one at all.
