Comment (by swissspidy):

 Posting what I shared on Slack already, this is what happens due to all
 this custom logic in place:

 {{{
 $ wp option update connectors_ai_google_api_key <VALIDKEY>
 Success: Updated 'connectors_ai_google_api_key' option. # So far so good

 $ wp option update connectors_ai_google_api_key <SAMEKEY>
 Error: Could not update option 'connectors_ai_google_api_key'. # Here you
 would expect "Success: Value passed for 'connectors_ai_google_api_key'
 option is unchanged."

 $ wp option update connectors_ai_google_api_key ""
 Success: Value passed for 'connectors_ai_google_api_key' option is
 unchanged. # Nothing actually changed

 $ wp option get connectors_ai_google_api_key
 <masked key>
 }}}
