From TFA: <<university’s IT department was angry that the company allowed students to connect their own Canvas API tokens to the app>>

Just a wild guess, but maybe the IT department gets charged an additional fee from Canvas based on the usage of API tokens?

Conflicts like these are always about money, one way or another.

Conflicts in bureaucracies like universities are often petty power struggles rather than anything financial. Especially between IT departments and anyone else.
