If they’re storing them in something like Amazon s3, there is a cost (extremely low, but not free) associated with retrieving data regardless of size.

Even if they were an entirely free service, it’d make sense to put hard rate limits on unauthenticated users and more generous rate limits on authenticated ones.

Leaving out rate limits is a good way to discover that you have users who will use your API real dumb.

Their pricing model seems fucked, but that’s aside from the rate limits.
