With web startups it is probably more common that you will have a stack of 3rd party services you hook into of which may work in a way that someone else couldn't just plug their own credentials in and have it run.

I suppose.

Certainly not 'and have it just work', but I'm really skeptical that many web apps have such complex api dependencies that you couldn't just fudge a new one in.

Even app-engine apps have been successfully run using an isolated stack.

...and certainly most 3rd party APIs really wouldn't care; just another end user. Nothing special.
