you generally don't magically get things like API keys and database credentials from buckets

Oh you underestimate how clueless some people can be. One of the highest priority checks of cloud SOCs is to just routinely scan for public buckets, because people expose (accidentally or intentionally) stuff on their test or sandbox accounts a lot, and it’s not surprising to find keys and secrets in there. Obviously a simple SCP policy of denying API calls to make a bucket public will easily solve this problem, but then again, even big companies screw that up too.
