I don't see an issue, using something like Firebase is what a smart engineer would do. Just this one piece of logic is a problem.

I tend to agree with this. Why re-invent the wheel by spending engineering effort building a CRUD backend?

If you're trying to bring value to market, focus on your core differentiator and use existing tooling for your boilerplate stuff.

It’s the “chrome replacement we have been waiting for”, but (if I read this right), my data is still sent to Firebase? Also it’s a browser, not a “tinder but for cats” startup idea I’m writing for my cousin for a beer.

It’s not only not a smart engineering decision, it’s also a terrible product, reputation and marketing decision.
