Don't underestimate people not knowing were they share stuff by accident.

Creating Sitemaps, sharing it somewere public, putting the url in some 3th party service, server logs, some indirect path in javascript.

But if you never mention that url, it will not be found if not leaked by your server.

That sounds like a claim that security through obscurity is infallible, which is dubious. Don't get me wrong, it can be a reasonable part of defense-in-depth strategy, but like, brute force attacks are kinda a well known thing, especially if your URLs aren't truly random...
