It probably isn't targeted at those users. If you're a small shop and just need feature flags, this is probably overkill.
Recognize that there's a cost to pulling in 3rd party libraries, much less 3rd party services, into your project. It's not just the cost to integrate, but of figuring out failure modes. The offering can evolve to no longer serve your use case. They could deprecate the API, causing you to have to update current, and past, projects. Google can buy them and shut them down.
If you take this approach for everything someone has a SAAS for, you could spend more time responding to their changes than evolving your own product. Been there, done that - it isn't fun.
