Yup, I agree with you. This is a pretty big problem with a lot of other google services as well. The google maps api for example will not work behind https.

The google maps api for example will not work behind https. Google has publicly said that this is because they want their maps free and open, not behind some page where the user needs to be logged in. This create a huge problem for any site that uses google maps. They do offer a solution though, for $10,000 a year they will let you use the map api behind https.
