It could even be A/B testing as I have seen asserted and to be fair I have no idea but everything left a bad taste. I don't really understand the API decision this is probably the biggest thing for me and even more important now. People want to use their own harnesses or even just insert llm calls in their scripts, Why pay unsubscribed rates for this?

I agree with this and it's the single biggest thing driving me away from Claude and towards the OpenAI, Google, and open-weight models. I guess they do this to increase use of their own tools and, thereby, make their models more 'sticky.' But I really dislike it.
