'Why do I get a different place id on android maps sdk vs the place details api for that same id?

When I tap a POI on the map on android google maps sdk, I get the following place_id:

ChIJAAAAAAAAAAARQ5hwJsast6s

When I request place details API with this id, I get a response with details for this place, but the place_id in the response is different:

place_id: 'ChIJfVpQRQq_woARQ5hwJsast6s',

What is going on here? Why am I getting different place ids?

On the ios maps sdk, the place id I get on tapping the map is the exact same as what the place details api returns. Why is the android one different?
