The same goes when the website is served by any other CDN. Great, we have this thing that can serve nearly infinite number of requests has DDOS protection and is always close to the customer, let's put a proxy in front of it because we don't know how to setup CORS. CORS ain't that hard.

Why put anything in front of Firebase hosting? Why not use Firebase hosting as the front?

This confirms my initial comment - people making up reasons.

The solution is always the same, it's always as easy and there's never the need to introduce something new since you can use what you already have.
