I've never used IFTTT, but my understanding is that this is the biggest value IFTTT provides - tying together a set of normally incompatible services. If you're now pushing this work onto the services themselves what is the value add that IFTTT provides? And wouldn't the internet be better off if those same sites adopted a shared, open API that could be used by anyone instead?

Connecting to IFTTT provides some value to the sites too. It's not like IFTTT is pillaging the client sites here. Clearly most of the services have seen enough value to do these upgrades, not just once but multiple times.
