Don't get my wrong I use Firebase and its services for basically all my private projects, but if you plan to go big you have to thing about this issues. A while ago I tried to put all the Firebase logic in a seperate backend service, but well, that's not what Firebase is for in the first place.

Yes. I understand this. Firebase is pretty easy and simple, so for a private project where security is not a huge concern it maybe a great solution.

Because you only need to learn JavaScript/TypeScript and you are ready to build a whole application with authentication, data storage, user management and many more.

With the introduction of node, with only TypeScript/JavaScript, you can also achieve a proper backend server with all the things you mentioned. I hope that this will convince more users to create a proper backend, but I agree, due to firebase's ease it seems to be becoming more popular.
