Why is Api key needed for Android?

According to the doc, it seems that an api key provided by Youtube is mandatory. However, using the react-native-youtube component without the API key is working well. Furthermore, when reading this page from Google help center, it seems that an API key is only needed for write or upload operations, not for read operations. Could you confirm/invalidate the need of the Youtube API key? And if it's needed, why is the example app working without a valid api key on Android?
Thanks in advance.

@PierreCapo I guess there is no problem of it's working without one.. if it was important, YouTube would have block that
