They are available to the public, yes, but most people simply paste them into MEMO field without thinking and if there would be a private key, they would also paste it.
True that! I was talking to someone who had pasted the public memo key into the memo field and when I told her why did you do that? She said she wasn't sure and she was going to paste the private memo key at first. To be honest, I think the dev team here is to be blamed. Why choose the same name, that is "memo" for two completely different fields? One that is public and one that is meant to be private?
