See my previous - I'd guess so that the key is attributable to a
person, as it is a person that has to agree to the terms.

Is it?   We're only talking about someone using decryption to find out
that someone else uses say, [email protected], rather than having to
guess at it.    The API key only identifies its creator, it doesn't
give any access.
The rest of the API key is of course useless for anything, unless you
already have access to domain.com or whatever
