Interesting. Do they pay Google for the map and tileserver use (even if
they don't realise that's what they're paying for)?
Or rather, since they've clearly not updated whatever agreement they had
with Google for a while, /if/ the map were functioning would that mean
they were paying Google?
Depending on how much usage it got, yes.
All Google Maps API usage now requires an API key. Each key has to be
associated with a billing account, and all usage is chargeable. But each
billing account gets $200 credit every calendar month, so if your total
usage is less than that it remains free.
(There is still an embeddable non-API version of Google Maps, but it's
very limited in functionality).
