Why does Google Identity Platform not invalidate Refresh Tokens when signing out?

Viewed 20

I have a question about signing out users securely with Google Identity Platform.

I am using the firebase-js-sdk to manage the sign in of my Google Identity Platform users. However signout only clears session storage, it does not invalidate refresh tokens. I thought — perhaps incorrectly — that it wouldn’t be safe to have ‘dangling’ refresh tokens (which if issued from GIP are good for roughly 200 days).

Is there a reason why Google doesn't invalidate refresh tokens from the client?
