The point is that Firebase may not even be a third party, but rather the hosting platform of the application. Like the parent says, it’s like saying that AWS is a third party and a high risk threat.

AWS is a third party and if you use their services, they are handling your data. I suppose it's up to you to consider how much of a risk that is to your business.
