No, the point is, you host it for your own needs, so you are not using their service. Your implementation is for YOUR needs. You can make it public or not and advertise it or not at your discretion. What we do is make it public, but don't advertise it at all. Our software just uses it when needed.

If your use case calls for 400k/reqs a second on what your IP is and you haven't yet figured out how to build out your infrastructure(or pay someone to do it for you), you have bigger problems than figuring our what your public IP is.
