The use of "storage.googleapis.com" is probably because it's an "authority" domain that apps can't easily ban without side effects. Buckets can typically be used as a static site host where u can host a client side redirect, depending on how you set it up you can make it almost impossible for an app to ban a campaign in real time.

This has some good uses, by the way! VPNs and news websites that are blocked in Russia use it to either mirror content or redirect to the newest version.
