Couldn't they launch a paid ad-free tier that grants API access? i.e. the user pays for the ad-free experience, and the 3rd-party apps would only work for those users who have paid. I can't think of any companies who have done that but it seems like a reasonable solution.

Personally I'd love that, and also pay for it.

If it also reduces the incentives to implement dark patterns to boost "engagement" and collect personal information, that's just cherry on top
