This is a super weird point to focus on from that whoooole situation.
Not to me, yes the app sucks, yes the use case of the app also sucks, yes devs are either super green or even mostly AI (these have been discussed extensively and I agree with all).
But can't commend public release of such sensitive data in such a place. You can still bury this app and the company without compromising people's sensitive data. Makes for less of a show and less opportunity to boast but yea.
Solely blaming the devs tells me you have no experience with Firebase security
No I don't but if the firebase sucks isn't it devs job to be knowing this? They might have warned their supervisors and simply disregarded, that is also another possibility in which case the blame obviously goes to higher up not the devs.
