Is this really true about Keep? I mean, I know it's a Google product, but is it really that insecure? I've never heard much negative stuff about it.

By merit of it being owned by google, it is insecure.

Your notes are (or at least were 4 years ago when I last used it) stored in plaintext on your gmail under the notes tag. You don't hear negative stuff about it because 99% of people don't use notes for sensitive info, or even things they care about. It is also not a high profile app like messaging apps. It is just something everyone assumes is completely fine.
