I personally think it is ridiculous. Please send a 10,000th feature request to Firebase here, they literally won't read it, and may give you excuses like scalability issues, costs, and sharding. This is ridiculous. This post (which is disabled because you don't want to hear complaints) is ignorant.
Method 1: - use my adv-firestore-functions package... one line of code in your firebase function... done.
Method 3: - Distributed Counters - Whenever you deal with any real scaling, you need something like the sharding to accurately keep track of document counts. If you have more than 1 page view a sec, or more than one person clicks like a post a second, the server will slow down, and potentially be inaccurate. You can fix this with sharding. Here is the Firebase Extension and the Source Code. The code is really well written, but it should never have had to be written! Indexes, indexes, indexes!
