Firebase seems to be the go-to in a lot of cases. Do you think this is because of the pricing structure or the functionality or both?

Yeah, a little bit to do with the pricing structure. I wanted to see how far I could get without paying for anything. At first I was a bit annoyed at how large the added JS was. But in the process of building my app I discovered that it's really easy to run through an oauth flow server side, so you don't even really have to load anything clientside if you don't want to.
