For a dag like this:

from __future__ import annotations

from airflow.models.baseoperator import BaseOperator
from airflow import DAG
from airflow.sdk import Variable

class CustomOperator(BaseOperator):
    def execute(self, context):
        v = Variable.get(key="key1")
        print("Got value", v)


with DAG("get-var-sdk", schedule=None, catchup=False) as dag:
    CustomOperator(task_id="set_var")

We shouldn't mask the value of the variable in logs unless the key is sensitive. As of now, we always mask it. This means that irrespective of the value, it will always be masked. This will block users from printing variable values in their tasks.
