These OR APIs (in my professional experience working at Google Cloud between 2015-2023) is that they're 1) academic, and 2) used commercially as a way for Google Cloud solution architects & engineers to build customer-specific solutions that use these optimization APIs as a part of a business solution running on GCP. Case in point would be Route Optimization API, which was published just like this has been by the corporate OR team. Then, on top of that was built -- with input from a few alpha customers -- the Fleet Engine solution.
Until any of the OR APIs are exposed via Google Cloud, they won't have SLAs or any reliability guarantees and should not be used except academically. Just my $.02.
