I think it will be expensive for Google to provide SSL on all its APIs unless clients are willing to pay.



Not true according to Google:

If there's one point that we want to communicate to the world, it's that SSL/TLS is not computationally expensive any more. Ten years ago it might have been true, but it's just not the case any more. You too can afford to enable HTTPS for your users.
