I guess the new changes are meant to guard against some external actors, while internal actors will continue to have unencrypted access like this fiasco from a while ago.

I wouldn't give them too much credit on this. Gmail started in 2004, so a fix in 2010 still means that gmail had this vuln for most of its existence.
