I would like to get Google Maps API key for free usage (below 5000 per year hits), but when I follow the instructions, it seems that providing billing information is mandatory.
Question
What am I missing, or is it really impossible to have Google Maps on a page without providing billing info?

Yes you need to setup a billing account, there is no way around it these days.
Some Google APIs charge for usage, and you need to enable billing before you can start using these APIs.
Reminder: To use the Places API, you must enable billing on each of your projects and include an API key with all API or SDK requests. The Places API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Places API requests generate calls to any of multiple SKUs.
In order to embed a Google Map iframe without api key add a Google Map widget from the left side panel. Then open it and add the address. This way you can embed Google Map without api key via Elementor.
Yes you need to setup a billing account, there is no way around it these days. As long as you keep under the free tier it doesn't really matter.
Also their pricing examples are counted monthly so the things that have 5 000 hits in their pricing is per month not per year.

You can use iframe tag instead api-key without any problem.
