It could easily go away, if there are claims of people abusing the API, or using "unlicensed software to use the API" causing errors. By licensed, I mean "approved to use the API".

There could also be pushes to monetize the API, "Why is this service free!?". Meaning they'd likely require a need to be incorporated, setup a commercial account with them, and have payment method on file, and on and on.

My point is, I can think of dozens of sneaky ways to make that pesky API go away, and I'm not even trying.

What I'm getting at is that the interoperability is not the hard part of this project.

You're confusing technical ease with political desirability.

No, just that this interoperability already exists, and is not a hard part for this project.
