Does this mean a program can be written to generate all possible api keys and upload to github thereby revoke everyone's access?

They are designed to be long enough that it's entirely impractical to do this.
All possible
is a massive number.

That's true tho... possible, but impractical.

Not possible given the amount of matter in the solar system and the amount of time before the Sun dies.

Only possible if you are unconstrained by time and storage.

Not only you, but GitHub too, since you need to upload.
Storage is actually not much of a problem (on your end): you can just generate them on the fly.
