This came up in the last two threads I read about uuidv7.
This is simply not a meaningful statement. Any ID you expose externally is also an internal ID. Any ID you do not expose is internal-only.
If you expose data in a repeatable way, you still have to choose what IDs to expose, whether that’s the primary key or a secondary key. (In some cases you can avoid exposing keys at all, but those are narrow cases.)
