Note they let you download the .ttf's... But the idea is the same as using google apis for things like jquery. It lets you prototype quickly without having to load a new font on your server every time you want to test something different, if this gets popular and you're using a popular font chances are it'll already be in the user's browser cache, and most importantly from my perspective there isn't any ambiguity with this list as to which fonts I can and can't legally redistribute. Obviously don't count on Google to always be there for you.
