Is it a good thing though? APIs are centralized and brittle. Sometimes an API makes sense, sometimes I'd rather buy a program or library that I'm sure won't change or go away.

I think the API trend now is here to stay in a large part, but there will always be a place for a complete embedded solution. One embarrassing outage and customers would loose faith in a solution.
