the difference is that you just have to run it once, and you can do it
in an isolated VM with a container inside it that runs another isolated
Tor Browser where you can do it, after resolving a hundred Google
captchas (ok, I was joking about the extreme security, but seriously,
you can run the nonfree js in a safe and controled environment, and
just once)

Idk, honestly, but it might be to avoid what happened with youtube-
viewer: too many users using the same API key (built-in the software)
provoked it to get blocked by Google

Logs, debug info, and others could be provided so we can help.
Otherwise, report it in the bug tracker
